The "Ruins" is the older and more classic of the two works provided. It seemed like a normal in love with a stranger who rapes, abandons, then heroine gets pregnant in the convent and the convent conceals, then she dies with the baby in childbirth, and haunts the man that did this to her. Classic Gothic Literature. The whole story is just full of dark and stormy nights, a ruined old abbey, with ghosts, goblins, a maiden in distress, evil church people, evil barons, being trapped in the past, and of course; rape and revenge. I'm pretty sure if you tore this book in half, it would bleed goth.
Thanks
Goodmorning.
