Whats your impression of this
opening Gothic line?
How can we improve it?
 I walked through a forest to a log cabin
Writing to describe   the gothic
 The path slowly disappears as we descend deeper into the
woods. The gnarled and twisted trees groan as an icy wind
tears away the last of autumns golden leaves. As night falls
the forest comes to life, all around us a chorus of creatures
awaken. Chittering in the trees; rustling in the bracken; inky
black eyes glisten in the shadows.
The night air is heavy; dank with the stagnant odour of
decomposing leaves. We stumble through razor sharp
brambles snagging on the vicious thorns, fighting our way
towards the glow of a small flickering light. The smell of an
open fire entices us with the promise of warmth. In the
clearing a whisper of smoke is coming from the chimney of
an old ramshackle cabin.
 Improve this sentence and expand it into a
descriptive paragraph, using Gothic features:
 I woke up to a thud from downstairs.
