The premise

A prominent Boston family attempts to redefine itself in the wake of a chilling discovery that links their recently deceased patriarch to a string of murders spanning decades — amid the mounting suspicion that one of them may have been his accomplice.

Horror Vault's take

When a decades-old trail of murders is suddenly connected to the head of a wealthy Boston family, his surviving relatives are forced to confront the possibility that darkness ran deeper than one man. As detectives close in and suspicions multiply, every family member becomes both suspect and investigator in their own right. American Gothic is a slow-burn domestic thriller that weaponizes the idea of home and heritage against its characters — and its audience.
