It belongs to the Gothic genre.

Explanation:

In the late 18th and early 19th century, writers such as Ann Radcliffe wrote novels which included supernatural elements, dark settings such as gloomy castles and lacklustre forests.

Those works were part of Romanticism and the theme of evil is preponderant in this movement.
