Early style of architecture and literature with mysterious events in eerie places (6)

I believe the answer is:

gothic

(Other definitions for gothic that I've seen before include "as some Germans were" , "Hit cog badly to find a style of building" , "Lurid - style of European architecture" , "Architectural style of the Middle Ages" , "Of architecture with flying buttresses, for example" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
