In The Death of Jane Lawrence, did you enjoy ...
... the unsettling, atmospheric use of dark magic and psychological horror?
Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
If you were captivated by the chilling rituals and supernatural dread surrounding Jane and Dr. Lawrence, you'll be mesmerized by Mexican Gothic. Noemí’s descent into a haunted manor filled with twisted secrets and sinister magic offers the same sense of creeping unease and gothic terror, with a lush, immersive setting.
... the intimate, claustrophobic settings and psychological unraveling?
The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell
If you enjoyed the oppressive, closed-in atmosphere of Lindridge Hall and Jane’s isolation as reality frays, The Silent Companions delivers a similar gothic intensity. Elsie’s experiences in a decaying country estate, haunted by mysterious wooden figures and her own mind, echo Jane’s descent into paranoia and fear.
... psychological depth and the gradual uncovering of horrifying secrets?
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
If you found Jane’s internal struggles and the slow, haunting revelations about her husband’s past compelling, Rebecca will draw you in. The unnamed narrator’s growing obsession and anxiety in Manderley parallels Jane’s own psychological journey, with secrets that unravel both the house and its inhabitants.
... morally ambiguous characters and the blurred lines between science and the supernatural?
The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters
If you appreciated the way Dr. Lawrence’s ethics and motives are never quite clear, and the tension between rationality and the uncanny, The Little Stranger explores similar territory. Dr. Faraday’s ambiguous role in the haunting of Hundreds Hall leaves you questioning the truth behind the horrors, much like Jane’s unreliable perceptions.
... the unreliable narration and shifting realities?
The Turn of the Screw by Henry James
If you relished questioning what was real in Jane’s story—caught between madness, magic, and ghostly happenings—The Turn of the Screw offers a classic tale of ambiguity. The governess’s eerie account is filled with uncertainty, keeping you on edge as you try to discern the truth behind the haunting.
