A penny dreadful was a type of British fiction publication in the 19th century that usually featured lurid serial stories.
A "dime novel" was a cheap and generally sensational tale of adventure sold as popular entertainment in the 1800s. 
Gothic fiction, sometimes referred to as Gothic horror, is a genre or mode of literature that combines fiction, horror and Romanticism.
