    Gothic horror should be named neo gothic horror maybe?
    It is representative of the Victorian era kind of horror.
    I am not sure what kind of biome that would be.
    An industrial city, a village in disrepair? Steampunk architecture?

    mmmm I will pounder on that but suffice to say you have stirred my interest there. Maybe nature trying to regain control over an industrial area but with all the chemicals it goes haywhire.
    We all wish to create, but do we really create?
    What we draw and what we write is part of us.
    No we do not create, we simply discover who we are.

    If I was ask to make a horror biome out from the Lac Saint-Jean, I would say it started with an oil refinery (we don't have oil so let me invent a little...) or mining a strange radioactive energy source but then something would go haywhire in the process of transformation of the raw material into something useable and then a disease would have spread. Dunno, maybe humans would start having cancer or a new illness highly contagious would cause lots of death. With so much dead bodies, the people wouldn't want to bury them in the fear of getting ill and would simply dig collective tombs (which is often the case with great epidemics) and afterwards leave the area. Without any human inhabitants anymore, nature would come back after some decades only to be itself in a first place contaminated and in a second place attracted by the source of contamination. Some may want to have zombies, but I don't like zombies personnaly. I would rather see something coming from the vegetation itself. Dunno...

    My best guest Azelor is such a biome would not be native so to speak to the area, but the result of a calamity or a failed experiment. I am no expert but with the vampires and all, I think it starts with a curse, a pact with the devil or sorcery right? A failed magical experiment could be replaced by a failed scientific experiment. A pact with the devil or the sort could be replaced with madness and "mégalomanie".

    Horror in itself as an independant biome I cannot think of it unless its a damned area, and by that word I really mean what it means in the dictionnary. Condemn by god/gods/or some kind of power of creation.
