A backlist title is a book that has been in print for at least a year, but perhaps flew under the radar when it was first released. New releases get a lot of attention, but there are hidden gems in authors’ backlists as well! As an avid reader of gothic fiction, Paulette will select books of merit each month that will appeal to subscribers.

No, but when each quarterly box is announced, there will be a theme, and enticing descriptions of each book to help build anticipation. Each box is curated according to that quarter’s theme, which is decided in advance.

You will receive your book box within the first two weeks of the quarter.

Right now, while Gothic Dreams is getting established, we are limiting available boxes to 25 boxes/subscribers per quarter. This helps ensure exclusivity and availability of the artisanal products we include in our boxes. We will scale up as demand increases. A lot depends on how our initial January 2026 box sells! After the next quarterly box/theme is announced, any remaining boxes in our inventory from the last quarter will be placed on our “past boxes” page to purchase at a discount.
-
Gothic Dreams does not offer refunds on our subscription boxes. However, if you receive a damaged box, please photograph your damaged shipment and send us a photo and description of the damage to admin@gothicdreamsbookbox.com and we will send a replacement box your way.

Unfortunately, due to the high cost of international shipping, Gothic Dreams is only available to subscribers in the United States and its territories. We hope to be able to serve international readers in the future!
