I'm a great fan of the Gothic mysteries. I grew up reading Barbara Michaels, although I didn't know the term for those books back then and did not branch out to other authors until adulthood when discovering this. I have several Victoria Holt to read since I found the section and figured it out while browsing a used bookstore, but have not got to most of them yet. I read Mary Stewart's, Madam, Will you Talk? earlier this year. Beverly C. Warren did not have many books, but is another author in this vein I've enjoyed.
Personally I classify V.C. Andrews as Gothic anymore, although those books may be categorized differently by book sellers. To me they have a similar feel and melodramatic exaggeration which fits.
