So the dark and mysterious style of writing and fancination for blood and death were clearly exhibited in his gothic novels. He is good at depicting people’s inner thoughts, and highlights the theme of moral exploration and humanity controversy. He describes the struggle of good and evil in everybody’ s soul and fear of punishment and death.
