yes
because victorians liked it
Post modern was not a popular genre during the Victorian era.
The Gothic genre gained popularity during the Victorian era due to its exploration of themes such as the supernatural, psychological horror, and the complexities of human emotions. This period was marked by rapid industrialization and societal changes, leading to anxieties about modernity and the unknown. The Gothic provided an escape into dark, mysterious worlds while also reflecting contemporary fears about morality, class, and the consequences of progress. Additionally, the Victorian fascination with death, the macabre, and the sublime made Gothic literature particularly appealing to readers seeking both thrills and deeper philosophical reflections.
The heyday of Gothic horror novels was about 1790-1820. Horace Walpole's Castle of Otranto (1764) is widely regarded as the first Gothic novel. Gothic horror stories have continued to appear down to the present. Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897) is widely regarded as 'Gothic horror' though it appreared long after the heyday of the Gothic novel.
