No SF on the list except perhaps _Wuthering Heights_ & _The Secret Agent_..
I saw a film of /Wuthering Heights/ and, yes, it could be considered
SF -- in the broadest sense.
It's been a while since I read /The Secret Agent/ and nothing comes to
mind as SF. I remember Hitchcock's film version (/Sabotage/, not /The
Secret Agent/ or /Saboteur/) better, but it is pretty clearly set in
reality. The book, of course, has more in it.

Hilarious indeed! I would say "click-bait", but I'm everyone had the
same thought. Especially the E-Romance editions.
Fortunately, most of the PD ebooks I buy appear to use the original
cover of whatever edition they scanned in. Or at least something that
makes some sort of sense. Or is an image of an actual painting done
way back when when the book was written or the time it is set in.
