I'd also note that Del Toro is as avid a note-taker as he is a reader. However, that's not to say you should avoid Braddon and Collins. His novel The Turn of the Screw is more firmly seated in Horror than the works of the above Sensation novelists and would have the spookiness and language that is similar to what you experienced in Crimson Peak. One more Brit for the list would be Henry James. Poe is undoubtedly a major influence of Del Toro's.

Try out Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher for something (shorter) from an American master of this tradition, it's a pretty quintessential contribution. Tropes of the American Gothic tradition of the late 19th century were at work in that movie as well. Mary Elizabeth Braddon's Lady Audley's Secret is another one of these. Wilkie Collins' The Woman in White is one of the most notable of these that has more of an atmospherically 'spooky' vibe to it. Guillermo did a really excellent job applying a gothic twist to what resembles a late 1800s Mystery/ 'Sensation' novel with that flick.
