To me, there are at least a couple of aspects of gothic literature in this story. They are A) horror and B) a focus on the supernatural or imaginary rather than on things that can actually happen in our world.
If you think about this story, it all revolves around the idea that this monkey's paw could actually have the power to grant wishes. It has a spell put on it that allows this to happen. This is clearly supernatural.
Next, look at what happens to the Whites in this story -- very horrible, right? There is an atmosphere of horror as soon as the paw comes out. Then we have Herbert dying and, at the end, the implication that Herbert has come back as some sort of zombie or something.
So we have horror and the supernatural -- major aspects of gothic literature
