I read my first gothic romance around 1973 (at age 15). For years after it was exciting to go to the bookstore and hope to find that Victoria Holt had written a new book. Ah, those were the days....
On a sidenote: we vacation in Hungary regularly and there are lots of (translated) Holts and Carrs in the pocketbook section of supermarkets and bookstores. I think Hungary missed out on the actual boom and readers are just discovering gothic romances.
