Hello and welcome bianca_notte. So many good questions! I'll take a small stab at them.
First of all, if you care to, you can look back at my post dated 7-13-2010 and entitled Some Thoughts on Why? In it I state a (perhaps) rather unconventional response to gothic romances. Other than that, I find that they can be really good and really fun to read when you find the best ones of the genre.
As for the age question, I suppose it does have some bearing. I am a 48 year old woman who was definitely influenced by their popularity in my youth. They were pervasive! But I would imagine that their appeal transcends that. I'm sure new fans are being created all the time.
