Books like the Monk and Melmoth the wanderer?
The Monk by Matthew Lewis, Melmoth the wanderer by Charles Maturin
These are two of my favourite books and I’d love to find more like them, they have a certain kind of atmosphere I really want to read more of. I love thins set in monasteries or cloisters, I like the themes of religion, corruption, evil, and of course the gothic elements. A bit specific but I like when books have sorta side stories as well like the ghost story in the monk.
I’ve read and found plenty of spooky gothic books but not so many that seem to fit into this sort of category. I appreciate any recommendations :]
