The Best Gothic Novel EVER!

So I'm brewing my next novel and my main character is obsessed with gothic novels--which means I get to stuff my brain with all things gothic--yay!
My question to you is, what was or is your favorite gothic novel(s)? I don't care if the books were classics or junky. I want the truth.
I'll confess that I read all the Dark Shadow novels when I was in junior high school--and they weren't easy to find. And I do recall the first gothic novel I read. It was called SONS OF THE WOLF and I got it out of the school library. I have no idea who wrote it, but I remember thinking it was the best book ever.
THE HIDDEN HAND: OR, CAPITOLA THE MADCAP by Eden Southworth
BTW, I have a prompt to send to you, but I don't seem to have your email. It doesn't involve Barbie:)

I'm going for a seriously haunted house atop the cliffs overlooking Lake Champlain.
Dark Shadows was my favorite TV show when I was a kid! (ahem, dating myself...) Though I have to admit this was mainly because I found it incredibly funny that the actors were always flubbing their lines.
I used to rush home from school to watch Dark Shadows and I didn't dare tell my friends why I wouldn't meet them until after 4. I remember the flubbed lines:) but I liked it because I have a weakness for vampires, werewolves and witches.
Just finished Graceling and I'm still thinking about how I really feel about it.
