That’s a good question. I don’t know how many, but there’s probably lots. You might try looking that up on Amazon, or Googling that search string. There’s also a website called Literary Marketplace that might be able to help.

Thousands. You don’t give a specific time period in your question, so I don’t know if you mean stories from 200 years ago or more recently. The Gothic genre was essentially created in the late 18th century, followed by horror stories, which gained popularity throughout the 19th century. People are still writing in both of these genres today, so I’d say it would be very, very difficult to give you a precise number.
