Manderley, all of Wilkie Collins' novels are worth a read. They make liberal use of Gothic elements and while lengthy, are page-turners.

I love "The Romance of the Forest" by Ann Radcliffe if you want to go way back for Gothics. "Jane Eyre" is, of course, the book that really created the contemporary version of the subgenre, with "Rebecca" crystallizing it.
