About This Collection
This collection of gothic art prints is small, eighteen in all, in three strands.
Ghosts with hobbies make up most of it. These are the year-round members of the ghost series from the Halloween wall art collection: the Library Reading Ghost Print, the Record Store Ghost Print, the Fairground Romance Ghost Print and the Moonlit Swing Ghost Print. Gentle humour, very little actual haunting.
Black cats and literary gothic bring the dark academia side. The Black Cat Library Print puts a cat among the bookshelves, the Vampire Cat Print does what the title promises, and the Black Cat Champagne Print is a cat portrait with expensive tastes. The Edgar Allan Poe "A Dream" Poem Print is the one purely typographic piece, for anyone who has read The Raven more times than they'd admit.
Witches and skeletons round it off. The Martini at Midnight Witch Print and the Smoking Skeleton Print are two of the collection's best sellers. Both have a vintage feel, like something found in the back room of an antiques shop that the owner would rather not discuss.
For more in the same register, try the black wall art collection, the literature prints collection for the bookish side, and the vintage prints collection for the antiques-shop mood.
What rooms suit gothic wall art?
Reading corners and studies are the natural home for gothic art prints. The Black Cat Library Print and the Poe poem print both belong near books, ideally with dark walls, a lamp and a chair nobody else is allowed to sit in.
Bedrooms suit the softer ghosts: the Moonlit Swing Ghost Print and the Fairground Romance Ghost Print are more romantic than spooky and pair well either side of a bed.
Living rooms and home bars suit the witch and skeleton prints. A single Martini at Midnight Witch Print at A2 on a dark wall does more than a shelf of skull ornaments.
For a gallery wall, mix these with a black cat or two from the cat prints collection and keep the frames consistent.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is gothic wall art?
Gothic wall art borrows from gothic fiction and the darker end of Victorian taste: ghosts, black cats, skeletons, witches and poetry by writers like Edgar Allan Poe. Here it leans towards gothic cute and dark academia rather than horror, so the prints are moody and mischievous rather than gruesome.
What is the difference between the gothic and Halloween collections?
Several ghost prints sit in both. The Halloween collection is for seasonal decorating, with trick or treat scenes and pumpkins. The gothic collection is the year-round version: a darker mood that doesn't look out of place in March.
Are gothic art prints good gifts?
Yes, particularly for people whose specific taste makes them hard to buy for. The Poe poem print suits literature lovers, the cat prints suit cat owners with a gothic streak, and the witch print suits the friend who always orders the martini.
What sizes are available?
Most prints are available in sizes from 5x7 up to A1, with both metric and US paper sizes. Full size options are shown on each individual product page. A4 and A3 suit reading corners and bedside pairs, and a statement witch or skeleton print can go to A2 or A1.
Can all prints be ordered framed?
Yes. All prints can be ordered framed. We're rolling framed options out across the site, so individual listings will show whether a framed version is currently available. If you'd like a framed version of a print that doesn't yet have that option listed, get in touch and we'll sort it for you.
What is the print quality like?
Prints are produced on FSC-certified 200gsm fine art paper using a 12-colour press with a matte, glare-free finish. Deep shadows in these darker prints stay rich rather than reflective.
Where do you ship and how long does delivery take?
We ship worldwide via Gelato's global print network, meaning your order is fulfilled close to where you live. Every print is made to order and dispatched promptly, then arrives within 2 to 5 business days of dispatch. Free shipping applies to US and UK orders.
