Hello! As the title suggests, I just finished wuthering heights and I loved it a lot. The plot, the characters though flawed, the doomed romance and the atmosphere all contributed to my loving it.
Now I’m searching for something that I will like, that gives off the same vibes. I have on my self Frankenstein and Dracula, so which one of those do you think is the most similar? If not, what other book would you recommend?
I did read Jane Eyre, which I liked, but not as much.

If you like the Bronte’s style you’ll like Thomas Hardy. I’d say Tess of the D’Ubervilles has similar themes to Wuthering. I’d also pick Dracula over Frankenstein any day. I’ll add a rec for Elizabeth Kostova’s The Historian: although based in part on Bram Stoker’s Dracula, it is not a horror novel, but rather an eerie tale and very well written.
I second *Tess of the D’urbervilles* by Hardy and *Far From the Madding Crowd* as well, although the latter book has a happier resolution.
*Ethan Frome* and *The Age of Innocence* by Edith Wharton
*The French Lieutenant’s Woman* by John Fowles.
*Death and Nightingales* by Eugene McCabe.
