I have three favorites that I have read multiple times. One is the non fiction work "Into Thin Air" by Jon Krakauer. The second is "The Exorcist" by William Peter Blatty. SO much more intense than the movie. The book actually makes my heart rate speed up and my palms sweat. The movie just makes me laugh. The third is Dennis LeHane's "Shutter Island' a VERY Gothic psychological thriller, currently a movie from Martin Scorsese. The film is getting rave reviews but it didn't live up to my expectations.
As far as Gothics I frequently enjoy rereading "The Other" by Thomas Tryon and "We Have Always Lived in the Castle" and "The Haunting of Hill House" by Shirley Jackson.
