A List of Literature I'd Like to Read- Mostly Classics, Gothic Lit, and Horror

This is a list of some literature I'd like to read that I've yet to get around to. I've been an avid reader all my life and even majored in English Literature and Writing at University, so I've read quite a lot; yet, I've only just gained an affection for Classics in the past few years, so there are many classics on the list, in addition to Gothic literature and Horror among other genres.
