Fair. Radcliffe is lampooned in Northanger Abbey, written in 1803, so obviously the Gothic thing was well established by then. I guess I associate Frankenstein with the time it was written in part because I took a college class on "Romanticism and the Age of Revolution", whereas I feel vaguer about Dracula. From the Wikipedia page of The Monk: One of the three fictional films shown in the 2022 video game Immortality is an adaptation of the novel, called Ambrosio. So I guess someone's still reading it.
