Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Old Mrs!. Ommanney is Dead, by Margaret Erskine
The Third Half, Mildred Davis
Fear of a Stranger, Rae Foley
A Candle for the Dragon, Mary Craig

Basically, it is a type of romantic fiction that involves a ruined Gothic castle or abbey, emphasized mystery and horror and was filled with ghost-haunted rooms, secret passageways, etc!. Some other examples listed in the ency include: 'Mysteries of Udolpho' by Ann Radcliffe, 'Frankenstein' by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelly, and 'The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There are so many!. Since you mentioned Henry James I assume you want classic goth!. Here are a few of my favorites:

"The Mysteries of Udolpho" by Ann Radcliff
"Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte
"The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allen Poe
"The Necromancer" by Ludwig Flammenberg
"The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
"Rebecca" by Dauphne Du Maurier

Enjoy!!!
