June 2026: The Lovers

$110.00 $140.00

Inspired by the 6th card of the tarot’s Major Arcana, The Lovers represents unity, love, relationships, and connection, as well as healing through alignment with personal values. The three frontlist and backlist titles chosen for this quarter’s subscription box reflect these themes, showcasing love and the sometimes volatile passions of Gothic Romance. These 18+ selections also include mental health representation, sapphic and straight romance, dark magic, and the allure of the supernatural. Summer is the season to read romance, and these swoonworthy books will be perfect to pack in your suitcase or beach bag—adding gothic flare to your vacation plans. The artisanal items in this box are specially curated to enhance your reading enjoyment and add more beauty to your life.

You’ll receive one book box for the next Gothic Dreams drop in June! Each book box includes:

  • 3 Curated Gothic Fiction Books—a selection of titles by indie and traditionally published authors

  • Bookmarks and printed Swag describing the contents of the box, including a personalized letter from Paulette with an invitation to join the Gothic Dreams monthly online book club

Frequently Asked Questions

  • 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 2026 boxes sell! 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!
