    Victorian gothic is my absolute favorite sub genre and this is a fantastic list! Laura Purcell is a favorite of mine and I just read Bone China which I really enjoyed, along with Silent Companions and The Corset. I also recently read The Familiars and it was AMAZING. Recently purchased The Doll Factory and it's on my November TBR and will be adding Melmoth and Lakewood House to my purchase list. My all time favorite Neo Victorian gothic author is Sarah Waters and her book Fingersmith. Her Victorian era setting books are all 5 star reads for me, and ones which I compare all other gothics to. Essie Fox is next in favorites...Elijah's Mermaid, The Somnambulist and The Goddess and the Thief are all sooo good!!

    Great video--thank you for all the recommendations. I was shocked by how many of these I'd never heard of. I'm looking forward to adding these to my TBR list soon. And also, the location was breathtaking, so thanks for that early-morning hit of inspiration. :) Have you read any of Susan Hill's books? "The Woman in Black" was phenomenal with plenty of atmosphere. Also, I'd add to your list books by Mary Roberts Rhinehart who was a master of Gothic mystery/suspense. Excellent writer!

    I maybe wasn't paying attention when you said The Animals at Lockwood Manor isn't out until March so I got mad at my library for not having it . Oops.

    This was nice, thanks :-) Just wanted to point out that the Italian town of Otranto is pronounced with the stress on the first syllable - i.e. the "O".

      thank you. What about the upstairs room. Is it a mystery or ghost story? If it is the latter I might not read it. Thanks
