Gothic Horror

I did not see a Culture Forum for Gothic Horror so I am posting this here. I like Gothic Horror like Edgar Allen Poe. I am not a fan of gore and excessive violence. I intended to write a Vampire Trilogy similar to Anne Rice's work except more Masculine and History and War Oriented. The Trilogy Titles are -- Immortal Blood (I believe this title has been taken. I have had this title for decades), Eternal Night, and Infinite Darkness. After the Trilogy was concluded I intended to Open up the Immortal Blood world to other Authors through an Anthology Book or Series. I don't have the time to write the books but I might adapt them and write some Film Treatments. really would have liked to have met Ann Rice. She is one of the people that made me want to write. Anyway, any Vampire or Gothic fans out there? A break from politics as usual. Usually I read this sort of Stuff closer to Spooky Season. Maybe favorite books combining Gothic Horror with Fantasy or similar Genres?
