I am looking for some old school horror and (murder) mystery books and stories like the ones by Lovecraft, Sherlock Holmes, Scarhaven Keep, The Beetle, The House on the Borderland, Dracula.

Anyone have some recommendations?

I really enjoyed T Kingfisher's The Twisted Ones (2019). According to the author, it's based off of a story (The White People by Arthur Machen) that freaked Lovecraft out.
