So, we've started the list for the best 20th century Gothics. How about the Classics? I haven't read many, so I'll just start with a couple:

1. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. This has led to our ideal of a Gothic romance.

2. The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole. The book that started the genre should not be missed.

I've been trying to read some of the older Gothics but finding time to read has been very difficult. I'll just add what I've read:

3. The Old English Baron by Clara Reeve.

I'd like to get some Mrs. Radcliffe Gothics.

4.  The Mysteries of Udolpho by Ann Radcliffe
5.  The Romance of the Forest by Ann Radcliffe
6.  Uncle Silas by Sheridan Le Fanu
7.  The Woman In White by Wilkie Collins
8.  The House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne
9.  The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
10.  The Turn of the Screw by Henry James
11. Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen
