Hello, I wonder if anyone could recommend any good period gothic supernatural books. My favourite so far have been Thin Air and Dark Matter by Michelle Paver , Melmoth by Sarah Perry and the silent companions by Laura Purcell. There are alot of books in this genre, but they seem written for women, the characters are often of a type: the long suffering heroine who may or may not be insane/ criminal. The men are often one dimensional: either a dominating Mr Rochester type, or a rugged outdoor type that said heroine has uncomplicated sex with. That’s why I like the ones written by Michelle Paver, they’re a bit different, and the male characters are actually sympathetic and well written. Any recommendations?
