   Summary

   "You’ll see him in your nightmares,
 you’ll see him in your dreams. He’ll appear out of nowhere but 
he ain’t what he seems." - Red Right Hand (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds)

   A Jonathan Crane x Fem!Reader explicit oneshot in which Jonathan takes a brief stint back to Georgia after escaping Arkham Asylum and meets a young woman paving the way forward through the same tumultuous religion that has haunted Jonathan his whole life. Heavily inspired by other gothic literary works and performances like Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera, Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla, and (a few) elements from Victor Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre Dame with it's criticism on purity within religion as well as classic macabre architecture.
