If someone says “gothic” to you, do you think of the lush rolling countryside or a sunny day?

Chances are you don’t. Most people — myself included — associate that word with the dark, mysterious, and even frightening. Maybe you picture ornate stone architecture of a castle with gargoyles. Or perhaps foreboding skies rolling over said castle. Or very morose, pale people wearing black capes and veils. Or vampires with all of the above.
