Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is, of course a clear example of Gothic literature. Other novels include 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker, 'Northanger Abbey' by Jane Austen, 'The Castle of Otranto' by Horace Walpole, 'Vathek' by William Beckford, 'The Woman in White' by Wilkie Collins, 'The Shining' by Stephen King, 'Interview with a Vampire' by Ann Rice, 'The Mysteries of Udolpho' by Radcliffe. Short stories include 'The Signalman' by Charles Dickens, 'A Terribly Strange Bed' and 'Miss Jeromette and the Clergymen' by Wilkie Collins, 'The Red Room' by H.G. Wells and 'The Bodysnatchers' by Robert Louis Stevenson. Read all those and you'll have a pretty good overview of the genre!

∙ 12y agoAlmost all of it. It would be easier to ask what parts aren't Gothic?
I would have to say that the scientific concepts could be considered outside of the Gothic realm: biological, philosophical, and sociological but still those are well embedded with in the Gothic-ness of the story.

∙ 10y agoPinocchio by Carlo Collodi, written in the l870"s is an obvious juvenilization of the artificial life theme. no staybolts in the neck, though. The artificial lad runs amuck in part as he has no moral compass- or conscience, enter Jiminy Cricket. The whole idea of artificial life- robots, androids, etc all stems from Frankenstein!

The Island of Dr. Moreau by H.G. Wells is similar to Frankenstien too.
If you want to get a bit more modern, Cinder by Marissa Meyer combines Cinderella and Frankenstien in a sci-fi remodelling involving a cyborg.
Though not too similar, The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi is also enjoyed by some Frankenstien fans.
