Synopsis

The hearse with the weird odor slowed to a stop before the entrance. The sound of pebbles could be heard bouncing on the ceiling. There were footsteps coming from the corridor, and there seemed to be someone sawing next door. The door knob to the room rattled slightly, and the faucet in the bathroom kept dripping even though it had been screwed shut. There was a rubber ball that rolled on its own underneath the bed. Wet footsteps started to surface one after another on the floor. At 3 am, Chen Ge held a cleaver in his hand as he hid beside the room heater. The call he was trying to make was finally answered. "Landlord, is this what you meant by 'the house can be a little crowded at night'‽"

I think 'Frankenstein' by Mary Shelley is a great gothic horror story. It deals with the themes of creation, monstrosity, and the consequences of playing God. The creature, created by Victor Frankenstein, is a tragic figure that elicits both fear and pity. The desolate landscapes and the dark, brooding atmosphere add to the horror.

The 'Cunning Folk' series is also great. It delves deep into the world of superstition and witchcraft in a gothic setting. The detailed descriptions of the gloomy landscapes and the complex characters really draw you in. There are often dark secrets and mysterious happenings that keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the story.

One of the best is 'Mexican Gothic' by Silvia Moreno - Garcia. It combines a creepy old mansion, family secrets, and a touch of the supernatural. Another great one is 'The Silent Companions' by Laura Purcell, which has a very spooky atmosphere with its old - fashioned dolls that seem to have a life of their own. And 'The Haunting of Hill House' by Shirley Jackson is a classic that still holds up today, with its psychological horror and the eponymous haunted house.

A really good one is 'Frankenstein' by Mary Shelley. Although it's mainly known as a horror story about a monster, there are elements of a love - hate relationship between Victor Frankenstein and his creation that can be seen as a perverse form of 'romance' in the gothic sense. The desolate landscapes and the horror of the unnatural creation add to the gothic horror aspect. 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' by Oscar Wilde also has gothic horror romance elements. Dorian's pursuit of pleasure and his relationship with Basil Hallward has a strange, dark quality, while the portrait that ages instead of him adds a gothic and somewhat romantic (in a twisted way) dimension to the story.
