Currently reading The king in yellow by Robert W. Chambers for the second time. It's a collection of unspoken horror fantasy stories from 1895 and it's influences can be seen in the works of Lovecraft. It still manages to draw me in on my Tram rides. I'd recommend it. Especially since it's no longer under copyright. Here's the free digital copy link.
It is crazy how pervasive this story has become in certain genres! It's referenced everywhere, Lovecraft being the big one but also True Detective, various FromSoft games, the SCP universe, etc. Super good stuff
