Moberly-Jourdain Time Travel Incident:

"In 1911, Moberly and Jourdain published a book entitled An Adventure under the names of "Elizabeth Morison" and "Frances Lamont". Their book describes a visit they made to the Petit Trianon, a small château in the grounds of the Palace of Versailles where they claimed to have seen the gardens as they had been in the late eighteenth century as well as ghosts, including Marie Antoinette and others."

An Adventure (1911):

The hardcover of this book is surprisingly obscure and hard to find..

His Dark Materials (A Trilogy) by Philip P. Pullman:

"In an epic trilogy, Philip Pullman unlocks the door to a world parallel to our own, but with a mysterious slant all its own. Dæmons and winged creatures live side by side with humans, and a mysterious entity called Dust just might have the power to unite the universes--if it isn't destroyed first. Here, the three paperback titles in Pullman's heroic fantasy series are united in one dazzling boxed set. Join Lyra, Pantalaimon, Will, and the rest as they embark on the most breathtaking, heartbreaking adventures of their lives. The fate of the universe is in their hands. The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass pit good against evil in a way no reader will ever forget."

Source: https://www.amazon.com/Materials-Yearling-3-book-Boxed-Paperback/dp/0440419514

Themes of time travel, the soul, daemons, multiple universes and dimensions, killing god, the metatron and angels, etc.

I will not provide links to this book. Buy it or find it yourself. It didn't achieve much success in NA, so help the author produce more.

They are also developing a TV series on the BBC for the Golden Compass. Let us forget that the piece of shit movie ever existed.

/lit/ fags will be quick to throw HP Lovecraft under the bus (especially for the reasons I am about to list and enjoy his works) but he is arguably the seed/root/archtemplate for modern day creepy pastas.

Herbert West: Reanimator
https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Herbert_West:_Reanimator/full

Difference with Frankenstein, Herbert West reanimates an entirely dead person. A necromancer, if you will.

Anything by this man.

So, if I'm not mistaken, the king in yellow is Hastur? Haven't read anything but Haita yet, plan to read the rest.

>>18937380
Mm, it could be. Or Hastur is just another manifestation of the Yellow King, perhaps even an underling. There's a story where the narrator/protoganist/1st-person is in some sort of ritual to become the next yellow king, so who knows. Cool mythos though.

>>18934850
There's a work of fiction called More Light by James Blish I remember reading about the King in Yellow.

Bump for great books, for Thoth!

I also read I am Legend for the first time this year. I wouldn't say that it really spooped me, but it was really compelling, I think. I enjoyed it.

If you guys like listening to classic horror n' shit, you should give this guy's youtube channel a listen. He does some really talented readings of some classic stories. My favorites are "Who Goes There?" and "The Fly." He also reads some Blackwood, and other goodies. https://www.youtube.com/user/FrenchEdward06

You weren't kidding, he has a very nice voice.

Imaging the Ben Cortman character screaming "NEEVILLE, COME OUT!" every single night made me giggle, and the fact that he couldn't find the fucker in the daytime to put him out, since he where hiding in the chimney.
