Log in with Facebook 
David Pirie: "The Patient's Eyes" (ISBN 13: 9781933648439; ISBN 10:1933648430), "The Night Calls" (ISBN 13: 9780099416593; ISBN 10: 009941659X) and "The Dark Water" (ISBN 13: 9780099416623; ISBN 10: 009941662X) ) -- Sherlock Holmes pastiches (of a sort) featuring A.C.D. himself and his mentor Joseph Bell as main characters; all three books have one or more crucial scenes set during dark and stormy nights
Caleb Carr: "The Italian Secretary" (ISBN 13: 9780751537475; ISBN 10: 0751537470) -- also a Sherlock Holmes pastiche; dark enough to make it feel like it's set more during (Edinburgh) night time than daytime hours and would possibly also work for "Genre: Mystery"
Charles Dickens: "Bleak House" (ISBN 13: 9780140434965; ISBN 10: 0140434968) and "The Mystery of Edwin Drood" (ISBN 13: 9780140439267; ISBN 10: 0140439269) -- exponents of the "urban fog" novel; both would arguably also work for "Gothic"
Edna O'Brien: "Night" (ISBN 13: 0571270298; ISBN 10: 9780571270293) -- a woman reflects on her past life during a long, sleepness night
John Berendt: "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" (ISBN 13: 9780679751526; ISBN 10: 0679751521) -- a killing after a stormy night time fight, and much general night time doings and spookiness in the cemetery
Peter Høeg: "Tales of the Night" (ISBN 13: 9780385256858; ISBN 10: 038525685X) -- short stories connected by a specific date (day and night); some of the nighttime settings are rather spooky and inhospitable -- and the specific edition for the ISBN(s) listed would also work for "Full Moon"
Michael Cox: "The Meaning of Night" (ISBN 13: 9780739479681; ISBN 10: 0719568366) -- murder during a winter night's snow storm, and as the title indicates, the whole book's mood is rather dark and gloomy.
Arthur Schnitzler -- "Dream Story" (ISBN 10: 0141182245; ISBN 13: 9780141182247); and "Night Games" (ISBN 13: 9781566633864; ISBN 10: 1566633869) -- haunting night time stories that would also qualify for "Gothic"; "Dream Story" also for "Grave or Graveyard" (it has a crucial scene in a morgue)
Nevada Barr: "Firestorm" (ISBN 13: 9780380725823; ISBN 10: 0380725827) -- murder during a firestorm followed by a night time snow storm; would arguably also qualify for "Genre: Mystery"
Rick Moody: "The Ice Storm" (ISBN 13: 9780316706001; ISBN 10: 0316706000) -- a broken family locked in together during a Thanksgiving night storm.
... and Dorothy L. Sayers: "Gaudy Night" (ISBN 10: 0061043494; ISBN 13: 9780061043499) -- here it does really fit, as the core events take place against a backdrop of rain, wind, and general seasonal unpleasantness, and they involve rather spooky night time doings such as the bonfire-burning of life size mannikins dressed in college don gowns, the nightly destruction of classrooms, and nightly attacks on various people (including Harriet Vane, who is attacked in the college chapel). Would also work for "Genre: Mystery" and, together with the whole "Wimsey" series, makes Ms. Sayers a "Scary Woman Author."
Btw, you do realize, don't you, that there's one glaring omission from this list that we both have been overlooking, right? (Hint: Has to do with your blog name ...)
