Hi Jace,
I am very fond of Vermont and I imagine there could be some settings there which would lend themselves well to a Gothic story, even if there is no coast. But some of those wooded hills off the beaten track can be sufficiently eerie at certain times of year. And of course the atmosphere would have been even more "Gothic" a century or more ago. Have you considered setting one of your own stories in your own state?
