What are your suggestion for gothic books to read? So far I have Frankenstein

The picture of Dorian gray and Rebecca !

I’ve also heard Charlotte Brontë writes great gothic books but haven’t read them myself yet

Susanna Clarkes Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell is a gothic/ realistic/ fantasy/ fairytale kind of book.
It’s really lovely and haunting!

just finished neverwhere by neil gaiman, the author of coraline! a great book for fall / autumn vibes

Dracula very much

dr jekyll and mr hyde for sure

Gallant by V.E.Schwab was nice, and I'm pretty sure it's described as a gothic tale

• Melmoth - Sarah Perry
• The Silent Companions - Laura Purcell
• In The Night Wood - Dale Bailey

Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

I can highly recommend checking out Ann Radcliffe's works, The Phantom of the Opera and The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
I've got a Gothic shelf on here which you could also check out for some reading inspo. ^^

Oh yes I really loved The Silent Companions, I think all of Laura Purcell's Gothic novels are phenomenal!
Have you read Melmoth the Wanderer by Charles Marturin yet? :)

@rina.reads ooh no I haven’t but it’s been on my TBR for ages! Laura Purcell is an auto-buy author for me and, even though I wasn’t keen on The Shape of Darkness, I love all her other books. But Silent Companions was definitely the best

C.J. Cooke has great gothic thrillers, The Ghost Woods by her is one of my favourite books :)

Shirley Jackson is an amazing author and has a great catalog. My favorites are,
The Haunting of Hill House
We Have Always Lived in the Castle
The Lottery

Phantom of the Opera, works from Edgar Allan Poe

The monk by Matthew Lewis

Thanks guys!

My Cousin Rachel by Daphne Du Maurier
