I am looking for some old school horror and (murder) mystery books and stories like the ones by Lovecraft, Sherlock Holmes, Scarhaven Keep, The Beetle, The House on the Borderland, Dracula.

Anyone have some recommendations?

Really old school would probably be E A Poe. His stories stand the test of time better than others imo.
