#25: Bride of Newgate by John Dickson Carr. Carr may be considered one of the great Golden Age mystery writers but he had several works that would be considered Gothic. This one reads like a historical romantic mystery.
#26: The Ninth Guest (The Invisible Host) by Gwen Bristow and Bruce Manning. Gwen Bristow traditionally wrote romances and this is the only mystery she wrote that I am aware of. This may or may not be considered a Gothic by others but I really enjoyed it. There is definite terror and suspense with a subtle romance. It reminded me of Christie's Ten Little Indians, although this book was copyrighted years prior to Christie's.
