The story still holds up very well, with excellent gothic worldbuilding and characters and well maintained mystery.

The Victorian writing style, though, slow and protracted, with half the book made up from letters and diary entries and the dialogues few, short and far apart, is not that captivating any more for the modern reader, to be honest.
