Gothic Fantasy
Gothic Fantasy is similar to Gothic Fiction but it includes fantasy elements or settings. Gothic Fiction is "a style of writing that is characterized by elements of fear, horror, death, and gloom, as well as romantic elements, such as nature, individuality, and very high emotion. These emotions can include fear and suspense." (Source) Here is a good 'introductory post' on Gothic Fantasy for further reading from Book Riot.
