Hello, I was looking for some gothic style book recommendations.
I only recently learned that Queen of the damned was a book and the third installment of a vampire series and I quite enjoyed the movie .
When I was thrifting for books I picked up The Witching Hour, but saw people found Anne Rice to be problematic and questionable, so I am conflicted on reading her novels.
But, I would really appreciate some other gothic novel recs. I am new to reading and really LOVE fantasy and I have a feeling I will love gothic styled books just as much.
Thank you and I appreciate the upcoming recommendations 🙏

Laura Purcell and Camilla Bruce both write almost exclusively gothic and have a decent amount of books to pick from. My favorite from Laura is the silent companions.
Feel free to make up your own mind about Anne Rice or any other author. If you like her work, go ahead and read it. With that said, let me suggest the Blood Opera Sequence By Tanith Lee, WE HAVE ALWAYS LIVED IN THE CASTLE or THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE by Shirley Jackson, ADRIFT ON THE HAUNTED SEAS by William Hope Hodgson, REBECCA by Daphne Du Maurier,, or HELL HOUSE by Richard Matheson.
