Gothic novel recommendation

Walpole is the castle of Otranto? Ann radcliff's Rudolph's Secret, Louis's Monk, and of course Mary? Mary shelley's Frankenstein. These works are devoted to dealing with cruel passion and supernatural horror themes, while the background of novels is usually set in desolate castles or secluded monasteries. The protagonist (usually young boys and girls) is trapped in irresistible magical sexual desire, and the abuser (usually positive) begins an encounter that ends in death ... The sexual/gender relationship contained in these novels is strangely entangled in sacredness. Extreme erotic climax comes from the moment of disillusionment (that is, the "completion" of the ceremony). The religious system symbolizing patriarchy and the dark (negative) forces trying to surpass it, in a certain unspeakable level, actually share the pleasure mode of "love mating to death" in a cool way. In the contemporary horror novel camp, like Annie? Anne rice's Chronicle of Vampires reveals the complex interaction between homosexual desire and patriarchal mechanism.

Many Gothic novelists emerged in this period. They not only showed the dark side of human beings, but also challenged the orthodox thinking mode of society at that time. They were a mixture of horror and mystery. Typical characters in Gothic novels are vampires, such as Brian? Stoke's Dracula is classic and gothic.
