Hmm...No one is writing or reading gay Gothic Horror?

I am surprised. The definition of Gothic Horror according to New York Public Library is:

Quote

The battle between humanity and unnatural forces of evil (sometimes man-made, sometimes supernatural) within an oppressive, inescapable, and bleak landscape is considered to be the true trademark of a gothic horror novel. 

A lot of stories could fall into this genre.
