What's your favorite classic gothic book?
#12
As I'm new to the forum, I figure I'll start sharing right away. I would have to say my favorite Gothic Novel would be a tie between three, Mary Shelly's Frankenstein, Horace Walpole's Castle Otranto and Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. The reason I cant decide is that they each bring something new to the table, Otranto could well be the first of its kind, Frankenstein is just amazing, (Ruined by contemporary takes) and Heart of Darkness is just a majestic look at the dark side of man. I believe each of these is a must read.
