If you do not read a gothic book during fall you are missing out. The fall weather and ambiance adds to the gothic literature atmosphere. Dracula is a classic and it is a good reread or first gothic literature read.
Dracula by Bram Stoker
In preparation for the movie adaptation that might not be exactly like this classic novel we should refamiliarize ourselves with this beautiful gothic novel. The Bronte sisters wrote some of the most beautiful and haunting gothic novels.
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
This scent screams fall and it was added to my fall candle collection right away. I don't use candles in their intended seasons only, but when I want to invoke that feeling for a specific mood. This one creates a cozy coting over you.
Harvest Chestnut Jar Candle
This is a violent novel of expectation, love, oppression, sin, religion and betrayal. Bronte sisters really created gothic beauties.

This French movie that was made in English is only available in Europe so if you can watch it there I fully recommend that. It is set to be available in the US in 2026. This will be a gorgeous Fall/Winter movie to get lost in. I have seen it in Europ...
Dracula: A Love Tale (2025)
A classic Dracula movie. If you have not noticed my gothic dreams are haunted by Count Dracula. And Fall is the time to get yourself familiar with all of these classics in movies and books.
Bram Stoker's Dracula
An October release is so perfect for this classic. I am definitely making a day out of watching Frankenstein. It will be available on Netflix and its Guillermo del Toro's movie so we have high expectations.
