Not a Gothic novel, of course, nor even a Gothic parody, but it does feature, in Chapter 9, a late-night visit to a graveyard by Tom and Huck, where they discuss ghosts and devils and, most dramatically, witness a grave-robbing and Injun Joe's murder of Dr. Robinson who, like most of Twain's characters in this novel, had a real-life counterpart, in this case a certain Dr. Joseph Nash McDowell, a St. Louis doctor and medical school founder involved, some say, in grave-robbing and who used the real cave just outside of Hannibal (it's featured prominently later in Tom Sawyer, as well as in other Twain works) to store for experimental purposes the corpse of his daughter. For more on "resurrection men" and C19 grave-robbing, see the note to "The Body-Snatcher" on the Robert Louis Stevenson page.
