Locales for new gothics?

[Penfeather]

How about Canada or Alaska? I would think British Columbia, and/or one of the many isolated islands along Canada's coast would be interesting settings.
Or New Zealand, Australia, the Caribbean and other islands in the South Pacific.
Dorothy Eden set her books in a variety of interesting locales. Providing historical and local info about such settings in a gothic romance would add to its appeal, IMHO.

All of those sound interesting -- New Zealand in particular would make an interesting and unusual locale for a gothic set in the present or the past. Thanks for the suggestions!
