22 Essential Gothic Novels (Classic & Contemporary)

"Gothic fiction is a genre with an incredible legacy, but it's also one that is seeing an exciting modern revival.
Since its beginnings in the late 18th Century, the gothic genre has grown and changed, having a hand in the creations of horror and science fiction.
As such, gothic novels are at once broad in their scope and themes, and also rigid in their tone and atmosphere.
Gothic novels are bleak, dark things; stories of terror and paranoia. They are exciting, absurd, sublime works of art, and we love them.
If you are a fan of modern gothic novels who wants to return to the genre's roots, or a fan of the classics who wants to see what's out there, you'll find it all here."
