Gloomth

"Gloomth"- Noun. Originally coined by Horace Walpole to describe the eerie Gothic ambiance of his Strawberry Hill home. The term was also used to refer to the especially morbid Victorians who treated preparing for death as an elaborate hobby.

“The cult of melancholy” is part of a quote from a book called ‘The Victorian Celebration of Death’ by James Stevens Curl.
