Victorian gothic is my absolute favorite sub genre and this is a fantastic list! Laura Purcell is a favorite of mine and I just read Bone China which I really enjoyed, along with Silent Companions and The Corset. I also recently read The Familiars and it was AMAZING. Recently purchased The Doll Factory and it's on my November TBR and will be adding Melmoth and Lakewood House to my purchase list. My all time favorite Neo Victorian gothic author is Sarah Waters and her book Fingersmith. Her Victorian era setting books are all 5 star reads for me, and ones which I compare all other gothics to. Essie Fox is next in favorites...Elijah's Mermaid, The Somnambulist and The Goddess and the Thief are all sooo good!!
Thanks so much for the recommendations! Getting on the case.
Oooh, thanks for all these suggestions, Shawna. There are so many good ones to add to my list now. :)
@@JPChoquette you're very welcome, enjoy!
Leaving a 🎃 in January. ❤️ gothic horror! ☠️👻🧛🏻♂️
Love it, Sarah! :)
@@JPChoquette thank you! 😀
The Thirteenth Tale for sure!! 🎃
I love that one so much!
YES! That was such a good one.
Lovely review,! Can't wait to get my hands on these books !!!
Your recommendations are always sublime, which is a gothic theme 😉 👻
Coo - ok, so I'm off to get the Upstairs Room. eeeeep!
Don't read it at bedtime!
Yayyy The Doll Factory is so great! Also really want to read The Upstairs Room - and am DESPERATE to read The Animals Of Lockwood Manor! Thanks for all the great suggestions! 🎃
Have you read anything spooky lately?
Book Break I finished The Hunting Party the other day - very autumnal and suuuper spooky!
TH-cam just recommended your video and I'm in love 😍 you should also try Gothikana. I just finished reading it and I think you'll love it!
Great video--thank you for all the recommendations. I was shocked by how many of these I'd never heard of. I'm looking forward to adding these to my TBR list soon. And also, the location was breathtaking, so thanks for that early-morning hit of inspiration. :) Have you read any of Susan Hill's books? "The Woman in Black" was phenomenal with plenty of atmosphere. Also, I'd add to your list books by Mary Roberts Rhinehart who was a master of Gothic mystery/suspense. Excellent writer!
The Monk by Matthew Lewis.
Sarah Waters and Diane Setterfield are authors I happily recommend
Happy Halloween!

I maybe wasn't paying attention when you said The Animals at Lockwood Manor isn't out until March so I got mad at my library for not having it . Oops.
Oh nooo I'm sorry! It'll be worth it when it does come out :)
Nice suggestions!
Not gothic, but Salem's Lot is my favourite spooky read.
I haven't read it, will look it up!
@@BookBreak You most definitely should.😁
This was nice, thanks :-) Just wanted to point out that the Italian town of Otranto is pronounced with the stress on the first syllable - i.e. the "O".
Ah, thank you!
well hello ❤️
The doll factory is considered a Gothic novel of suspense?
Yes it's v thrilling and suspenseful, as well as being a beautiful historical fiction!
thank you. What about the upstairs room. Is it a mystery or ghost story? If it is the latter I might not read it. Thanks

Happy Halloween! Did you go trick or treating, or curl up with a book?
