A Madness of Angels

"A Madness" is very successful in creating a 21st century gothic aesthetic. I say this because it has the element of a "ruined abbey" which is represented by the dirty streets of London. Also, it has the element of the supernatural by using the trash monster encountered by the main character and also when the main character uses something close to magic to protect himself. The setting also uses the theme of darkness by taking place only at night. Also, the main character feels trapped by his past and wants to find answers for himself about who he was.
