I've not read #1 or #3, but they do sound Gothic. #4 felt like a Gothic until it was explained. But I'd consider it Gothic, still, just like I had included "The Ninth Guest" on the Best Gothic List. The plots were very similar but I believe "The Ninth Guest" was written earlier. I think many Sherlock Holmes stories could be considered Gothic, in the same tradition as Edgar Allan Poe.
