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!
Almost 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.
Pinocchio 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!
There is a re-telling of the story by Megan Shepherd, called The Madman's Daughter.
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.

Frankenstein is not romantic its Gothic Science Fiction. Try the books of Jane Austin for romance.
Victor Frankenstein Remember- Frankenstein is the creator not the monster!
Frankenstein is actually the young scientist that made the monster in Frankenstein. The monster he created has no name. It is a common misconception that Frankenstein is the monster is in fact Frankenstein.

Frankenstein did not read the books. It was the 'monster.' But the four books were Paradise Lost, a volume of Plutarch's Lives, the Sorrows of Werter, and I guess you could consider the fourth to be Volney's Ruins of Empires. (Found in Chapter 12 & 15)
Mary Shelley. Or, if you are referring to the more current series of books, Dean Koontz.
