mod-goth (modern gothic novels)
We all love gothic classics, but what is new when it comes to the gothic genre (from the last 20 years or so)?! For fans of Dracula, Jane Eyre, Frankenstein, We Have Always Lived in the Castle, etc. Please comment with suggestions to add!
Outside freezes, so I want chills in my book
Horrors and thrillers set in winter (21st December to 20th March, but I will count earlier December as winter too to make things easier) or in a really cold place that reminds of wintertime.
The list will contain both more known books that you've probably already been recommended and some that I've seen have had less attention, at least over here. I have not read them all, but I want to complete this list myself too during the next Christmasses.

true dark academia that ranges from fantastical/supernatural to psychological literary fiction

Dark academia that isn't The Secret History
Writers' retreat gone wrong
Book of various genres, but due to the topic I guess they'll be mostly horrors and thrillers, where the main characters go on an innocent writer's retreat and it doesn't end up as expected. DISCLAIMER: I haven't read all books on this list, but I'm really eager to do so. If you have any correction about a book which doesn't really contain a writer's retreat or suggestions of more books that do, please comment it. The list will be updated whenever I find something or something is suggested.
