Gothic book recs, anyone?

[auroracloud]

It's not like I'm not drowning in books to read already, but it must be the season: I'd terribly much like to read some Gothic fiction. Anybody got recommendations? I'd especially love things that are in the traditional Gothic romantic style, ie. ancient houses/castles/manors, mysterious manuscripts, secrets from the past, beautiful girls roaming in nightly corridors in lacy nightgowns, etc.; but also very queer. F/f, m/m, something else, give me your recs! Also ones that are properly subverting gender norms in other ways are welcome.

If can also rec traditional Gothic romance that is not so well known and you think it might have slipped my attention. I've read a fair amount of the usual 18th/19th century recs, though not all.

I'm also welcoming things that mash up Gothic with other genres, like Gothic sci-fi, Gothic second world fantasy, etc.

Ooh, that's Aliette de Bodard's fantasy Paris series, isn't it? I've been meaning to check it out because I love her other work that I've read so much! And it does seem like it would have some Gothic vibes, and based on the author's comments about it, sounds like it's super queer.
