# [Introduction to Gothic and Dystopia Articles | KS3 Teaching Resource](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/blog/introduction-to-gothic-and-dystopia-articles)

 Written by [Douglas Wise](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/blog/author/wise) | 5 September, 2026

 

Click on the button to download a couple of one-page articles that serve as an introduction to the genres of gothic and dystopian literature. The former is geared towards The Woman in Black, by Susan Hill, but it should be general enough to be relevant to other texts.

Snip below ⤵️

Line numbers are included and words that are potentially unfamiliar are in bold.

Hope the articles are useful –
