The Person Behind this Project
My name is Alicia Domínguez, and I am the creator of The Gothic Descent.
​
I am an English philologist with a Master’s in Jungian psychology, a writer, content creator, and researcher of all things Gothic and depth psychology.
​
This project began in 2005 as a simple webpage dedicated to Gothic literature and ghost stories. At the time, I was starting my degree and discovered that, alongside my love for communication and the English language, my true passion lay in exploring the dungeons of the human mind.
​
My life, like most, has been anything but straightforward—a journey marked by lessons of life and death, loss and transformation. These experiences have deepened my connection to the Gothic and the profound psychological truths it reveals.
