For me, a foggy gray setting is an important component of a Gothic romance novel, and I wonder if other readers share this preference. I also wonder if this preference extends to real life for others as it does for me. As an inhabitant of California I yearn for place like the Pacific Northwest, the coast of Maine, Canada, Newfoundland, Labrador, not to mention of course Cornwall, Devon, Yorkshire, the Hebrides, Normandy, Scandinavia . . .
Some readers may prefer Gothic weather only in books, and sunshine in real life. I on the contrary become depressed when the weather gets too warm or sunny, and live for fall and winter. Any other readers share this strange trait?
