For beginners, I'd suggest 'The Castle of Otranto'. It's one of the first gothic horror novels, so it sets the foundation for what the genre is like. It has things like a cursed castle and strange happenings. Also, 'Carmilla' is good. It's not as long or complex as some others and it gives a good taste of gothic horror with its vampire theme.
Sure. 'Dracula' is a great start. It's very accessible and has been so influential that many other horror works are based on it. The story of Count Dracula and his hunt for blood is both exciting and scary. Another good one is 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde'. It's short and gets right to the point of exploring the dark side of human nature.
