This is one of my favorite books ever. There are sequels?
Please, list them and where they can be found.

There is just a novelette, "Castle of Horror" (available as an E-book).
OTOH, there is a recent straight mystery novel (no fantasy elements
whatsoever), _Scandal in Babylon_, which has characters which resemble
those in _BotRG_ (e.g., the English widow's first name is Emma rather
than Norah and her late husband's sister has a different stage name).

No fantasy elements? I couldn't find the sequel when I searched, but I
did turn up "Scandal in Babylon", and it was claimed to have been set
in the same universe as Bride of the Rat God in the page I found. But
it must have been wrong, I guess.

When I saw your post, I thought of a different set of books: the Cineverse
Cycle by Craig Shaw Gardner:
Slaves of the Volcano God
Bride of the Slime Monster
Revenge of the Fluffy Bunnies

Well, it is set in early 1920's Hollywood (just as _Bride of the Rat
God). However, there are a bunch of name changes (and some not changed,
e.g., Emma is Mrs Blackstone, her late husband's name is Jim and his
sister's birth name is Chava).
