Can anyone recommend books similar to the Castlevania video game franchise/series.

I know of the obvious choices like Dracula, Anne Rice, H.P. Lovecraft, and Necroscope by Brian Lumley, but I'm more into the introspective adventure/metroidvania aspects of the game that give the series its charm, as it's really a compilation of horror movie monster tropes in a dark fantasy setting.

Vampire Hunter D is the series I know that I'm looking for and is the one that makes the most obvious homages (i.e. Leila Basarb, Alucard's daughter, is named after Leila Marcus). But I feel like Michael Moorcock is the most similar to this, especially with his Eternal Champion book series because of how game-y they read, essentially. So I'm more inclined to look for something like that among the lines.
