Since it first showed up in the late 18th century, gothic literature has been a fairly constant presence in the lives of readers. Some novels may be more or less supernatural, or contain more or less gore, death, and destruction, but if you've found a story about a haunted house or a mysteriously locked door with an ominous cackle behind it, you're smack dab in the middle of the gothic. Like any good subgenre, the gothic has its own bag of tricks, which includes big, spooky houses, possible hauntings, family curses, and damsels in distress.
Whether you're a fan of the Romantic gothic, Victorian gothic, or Southern gothic, I've got something here you're sure to enjoy. Heads up, mystery and thriller fans: I've got a list of nine gothic novels to read, based on your favorite classic book, and trust me - you don't want to miss out.
