Well, imperial gothic novels typically have certain characteristics. One is the use of exotic locations which were often part of the empire at that time. This gives a sense of the 'other' and the unfamiliar. The architecture in these novels, like grand palaces or ancient forts, plays a big role in creating the gothic mood. Also, there is a strong undercurrent of fear and unease, whether it's from a hidden threat within the imperial society or from the forces of the supernatural that seem to lurk around every corner.
