I think you would like to check this author, from russian poets he is the best by my personal opinion - his poetry is very uncommon and unique, many of his poetry can be classified as Gothic.

thank you very much for your suggestion! i only asked about Anna Karenina because the novel seemed to embody some of the characteristics of a gothic novel... i'm really enjoyining gumilyov's work! although i must say that google seems to be struggling with it beacuse it insists on typing gumilyev. i don't understand technology, but thank goodness for great poetry.
