Hello from a newbie and long time lover of Gothic novels. I am a big fan of Barbara Michaels and others and have been since my early teen years. I am discovering other writers I like these days since I have read all of Michaels' works as well as the ones I can get my hands on of other favorites. I also have my degree in 18th century Brit. lit. and teach lit. which is like a dream job. 
I am wondering which of your favorite Gothic romance novels do not end well or leave you unsettled with the ending? I find some of those the most interesting. I am thinking of Barbara Michaels' 'Here I Stay,' for example, or 'Someone in the House.' They are unforgettable to me because of their unhappy (in a sense) endings. I don't want to spoil them for everyone else, though. I think DuMaurier's 'The House on the Strand' qualifies here as well, and there are probably others I'm just not thinking of at the moment.
Do you have favorite unhappy Gothic romances? If so, which ones and why?
