I'm thinking about doing a kind of gothic summer and I already own a copy of most of the obvious classics but I'm looking reccomendations for stuff I might have overlooked. I'm mostly looking for gothic horror and some of my favorites so far have been The Castle of Otranto, The Haunting of Hill House, and Mexican Gothic as a modern example. Bonus points if the book has so much melodrama that's almost camp.

I don’t think I have read much camp, sharing what I have liked in gothic horror –
Leech by Hiron Ennes
*Wakenhyrst* by Michelle Paver
Eynhallow by Tim McGregor ( I recently started reading)
What moves the dead by T. Kingfisher
I hope you have already read classics like Rebecca, she has also written other books and her entire body of work is great.
