The Alchemy Of Moonlight by David Ferraro
This book left me wanting. The major plot points, the big bad, relationships (platonic & romantic) all felt surface level. Yes to the poly rep, love to see it! Yes to the discussions of power dynamics specifically with love interests of varied social/financial status in a historical setting. All the gothic themes are there, mostly in the last third of the story, racing to the end. That said, the depictions of gore/horror and general creepiness were well done. - Readers with arachnophobia may want to skip this book. 

If the audiobook is an accessible option I highly recommend. The timber, range and style of the narrator paired well with gothic storytelling.
