More Like This? (Weird Fiction)

[Anonymous No.19538757]

The House on the Borderland is easily my favorite book of all time. Are there any more like this?

Most of it seems to come from Blackwood, Chambers, Bierce, for the old stuff, and Barron and Ligotti fur the newer stuff.

Are there any others? I've read these authors works many times and always wished there was more.

I've tried looking at other "horror" books but they are all Kootz level garbage our worse.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I second C.A. Smith and Machen. Robert E. Howard is mainly known for his Conan books but he did some mythos stories and Southern Gothics that are well worth the time to read. ‘Black Canaan’ is fantastic.

I just read “Witch-Cult Abbey” by Mark Samuels. It’s not Ligotti or Barron, but is well worth the read if you’re into weird fiction. I wrote a more detailed critique, but typed the captcha wrong and lost it.

TLDR Based on Witch-Cult alone, I feel like Samuels writes in the spirit of HPL or Derleth without falling into pastische, though he has some weird idiosyncrasies of his own. The book wasn’t mind blowing, but I’m willing to give his other stuff a chance.

As already mentioned Machen, Dunsany and Clark Ashton Smith. Then there's a lot of amazing European weird/fantastic fiction writers from that same period, try these
>Jean Ray (Malpertuis, Ghouls in My Grave)
>Stefan Grabinski (The Dark Domain)
>Hans Strobl (Lemuria)
>Alfred Kubin (The Other Side)
>Michel Bernannos (Other Side of the Mountain)
If you want modern weird writers who do something similar try Richard Gavin, Simon Stranzas and Caitlin R. Kiernan
