Top 5 Classical Gothic Fiction You Need to Read
Gothic fiction combines horror and fiction.
This genre touches on themes of the sublime, death, and sometimes even romance. Gothic fiction is stereotypically set in an old manor, abbey, castle, or any gothic German-like architectural building, etc., but it is not limited to these places.
