Wikipedia also has quite a list of Gothic Literature.

I like those lists, particularly because they have both newer and older books on them. There sure are some tempting titles on them, especially newer titles I might not have thought about getting yet. Uh-oh, here we go again...
But they often don't have the really really old and obscure stuff. Probably because most people don't know they exist. Even people who study Gothic literature can't always find a copy of them. The Valancourt website mentions driving 40 hours just to read old books on microfiche.
Now that's devotion.
I feel silly driving 45 minutes to get to a used bookstore I like, or a special sale at a bookstore. And I shouldn't feel silly.
