Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton.
If you have enjoyed Tennessee William's Gothic presentation of America's Deep South in A Streetcar Named Desire and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (see article 'Southern discomfort' on pp 22 - 25 of this edition), Edith Wharton's sinister evocation of the isolated farming communities of New England in the novella Ethan Frome might also appeal to you.
