I'm really into this kind of classic horror literature that relies on sweeping concepts and poetic description to provoke fear in the reader. If you have read either of these authors you know what I mean. Just looking for similar authors, thanks!
 
Have you read any of J.S.(Joseph Sheridan) LeFanu's work? His work is quite similar to Blackwood's. A website called The Literary Gothic has a brief bio of LeFanu, and it also has links to other websites where you can read more info about LeFanu: http://www.litgothic.com/Authors/lefanu.html

I've bought several books by LeFanu at Dover Publications. I like Dover because they provide unabridged reprints of lots of previously out-of-print books: http://search.store.yahoo.net/cgi-bin/nsearch?catalog=doverpublications&query=j.s.%20lefanu

If you go to the Dover Publications site to see what they have on LeFanu you'll also find other similar authors like Willkie Collins and M.R. James as well.
