Times Now News lists Gothic novels that will "haunt you in the best possible way":
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
Emily Brontë’s only novel, ‘Wuthering Heights’ is known as the masterpiece of Gothic literature. Set amidst the wild and desolate Yorkshire moors, this is an intense and destructive love story of Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw. The book explores the themes of obsession, revenge, and the darker sides of human nature.
The moody atmosphere of ‘Wuthering Heights’ itself, combined with Brontë’s powerful and poetic prose, makes this a truly haunting read. The story’s emotional depth and tragic elements linger in your mind long after you’ve finished it. (...)
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
‘Jane Eyre’ is a Gothic romance filled with mystery and emotional depth. The orphaned Jane finds employment as a governess at Thornfield Hall, where she meets the enigmatic Mr. Rochester. Secrets hidden within the mansion’s walls, including the mysterious presence in the attic, create an air of suspense.
Charlotte Brontë’s vivid descriptions and portrayal of a strong, independent heroine make this a timeless classic. The book explores themes of love, morality, and resilience which are woven into a narrative that is as haunting as it is empowering. (Richa Saxena)
The Northern Echo publishes some of the anecdotes and stories of former photographer Ian Wright:
Another vivid memory involves travelling to The Tan Hill in North Yorkshire to cover Columbia’s dramatic adaptation of Jane Eyre, starring Susannah York and George C. Scott. (Patrick Gouldsbrough)
It's funny to see that even products like
Twilight are questioned and its TV remake plans some woke-washing. On
Screenrant:
According to some fans, Twilight’s brooding romantic antihero is a formative crush, a Byronic vampire with a well-hidden heart of gold, and a well-meaning figure who is unfairly maligned even among the franchise’s own fandom. According to others, Twilight’s Wuthering Heights-inspired love interest is a possessive, controlling monster, and his version of vampirism is terminally cringe. (Cathal Gunning)

Screenrant, more vampires in this review of
Nosferatu 2024:
In the context of Nosferatu, it is clear that Death is Orlok and the maiden is Ellen. However, as much as Orlok scares and repulses Ellen, she also has an irrepressible bond with him. He is her first love, no matter how evil he is. In this way, Nosferatu twists the "Death and the Maiden" into an unexpected love story. Ellen must move on from Orlok's manipulation and try to hold onto her true love, Thomas. While Nosferatu is certainly scary at times, and unabashedly gothic, it is more like Wuthering Heights than it is Dracula. (Megan Hemenway)
