Silvia Moreno-Garcia's 'Mexican Gothic' centers on a woman trying to rescue her cousin from a charismatic yet terrifying family in a decaying mansion. The toxicity is familial and colonial, with a sensual, hypnotic pull that literally gets into the characters' dreams and bodies. The fear is of being assimilated, of your thoughts and desires being slowly replaced.
The atmosphere is thick with dread and decaying opulence.
I'd argue M. R. James's 'Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad' touches on this. It's not a romantic relationship, but the horror absolutely stems from a toxic, unwanted connection summoned by curiosity and arrogance. The fear of the 'thing' that relentlessly pursues the protagonist is rooted in the terror of an irreversible bond you never wanted.
It's a chilling allegory for consequences that cling to you intimately.
Claire North's 'The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August' features a non-romantic but profoundly toxic relationship between Harry and his rival across multiple lifetimes. It's a bond of obsessive competition, mutual understanding, and a fear that the other will unravel reality itself. The sensuality is in the intellectual intimacy of being the only two who truly know the rules of their existence.
Shirley Jackson's 'We Have Always Lived in the Castle' is a brilliant portrait of a toxic, insular family relationship. The sensuality is in the ritualized domesticity and the sisters' intense, exclusive bond. The fear is subtle, born from the narrator's unreliable perspective and the village's hatred, making you question who the real monsters are.
The horror is in the quiet, loving preservation of a terrible secret.
Not a novel, but the manga 'Uzumaki' by Junji Ito uses the spiral motif to show a town's obsessive, toxic relationship with the pattern itself. On a character level, it depicts couples and families being consumed by their interconnected fears and fixations in vividly grotesque ways. The sensuality is in the body horror—the intimate, terrifying transformation of the familiar into something monstrous.
The fear is contagious, and you feel the characters' dread as their world warps.

His tongue was still on her when she realized—she’d left the door unlocked.
But it was too late now.

“Look at you, turned on already. Look at your pussy, glistening and oozing even in the dark.”

For me, the appeal is the emotional honesty. It doesn't shy away from the dark, messy, potentially destructive sides of attraction and intimacy. Mainstream romance often sanitizes these feelings, turning them into safe, predictable narratives. Sensual horror wallows in the danger.
It acknowledges that love can be terrifying. That giving yourself to someone is an act of immense risk. That obsession can feel like love, and love can curdle into obsession. Exploring those shadowy corners feels more true to the human experience than a flawless 'happily ever after.' The terror comes from recognizing a seed of truth in the extreme situation. That recognition is profoundly unsettling, but also weirdly cathartic.
It's interesting how this blend critiques traditional romance narratives. The 'love conquers all' motto is put through a wringer. Sometimes love does conquer, but at a horrific price. Sometimes love blinds you to the obvious danger. Sometimes love is the monster. By injecting horror, the genre forces a more nuanced, often darker, examination of love's power and its potential for corruption or self-destruction.
You might like 'Bunny' by Mona Awad. It's a dark academia satire with horror elements. The relationships within the 'Bunny' clique are intensely toxic, built on collective delusion, manipulation, and a horrific form of creative collaboration. The power is in the groupthink, the social exclusion, and the surreal demands of belonging. The 'love' between the girls is obsessive, consuming, and literally transformative in a body-horror way. It's a wild, unnerving ride about the horrors of fitting in.
