Hayley Marsden & Shin-Hawk Well Smashed Yeomans & at any other Goth reading nut (eg Nick Yeomans): I recently finished a novel by a fellow named Horace Walpole... The Castle of Otranto. This novel was written in 1764 and is purported to be the first of the Horror (Gothic) genre. The novel left a lot to be desired (I rated it 2/5) yet it got me thinking - can I trace horror novels back to 1764? So heres my list (note it has many gaps - feel free to fill them): 1764 The Castle of Otranto Horace Walpole 1773 Sir Bertrand: A Fragment Anne Laetitia Aikin 1777 The Old English Baron Clara Reeve 1786 History of the Caliph Vathek William Beckford 1794 The Mysteries of Udolpho Ann Radclifffe 1796 The Monk Gregory Lewis 1797 Wieland Charles Brockden 1798 St. Leon William Godwin 1800 The Magus Francis Barrett 1805 Zofloya Charlotte Dacre 1810 Undine Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué 1816 Northanger Abbey Jane Austen 1817 Frankenstein Mary Shelley 1818 The Vampyre John William Polidori 1819 Melmoth, the Wanderer Charles Robert Maturin 1823 Hans of Iceland Victor Hugo 1824 The Confessions of a Justified James Hogg Sinner 1826 The Epicurean Thomas Moore 1831 The Wild Asss Skin Honoré de Balzac 1836 Clarimonde Théophile Gautier 1838 The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Edgar Allan Poe Pym of Nantucket 1839 The Phantom Ship Frederick Marryat 1842 Zanoni Edward Bulwer-Lytton 1843 A Christmas Carol Charles Dickens 1845 The Wandering Jew Eugene Sue 1847 Faust: A Romance of the George W.
