Why these tropes fit

Clara Eden accepts a position as an archivist for the eccentric estate owner Agatha Montague and is drawn into her research through a romantic correspondence thousands of years old. As her feelings for Agatha's assistant Fiadh deepen, Clara grows increasingly uneasy about Agatha's true nature. By the time her suspicions are confirmed, it is too late to escape, leaving her trapped on the estate amid sensuous vampires, plant horrors, and terrifying fungal fae in this queer dark fantasy gothic setting.
