Right now reading Jim Harrison's The English Major. It's good but not as good as some of his other books or his poetry.
I'll give the Mr. Whicher a try. Ever read Scenes in the Life of a of a Bow Street Runner by "Richmond"?

Not spooky enough? All that subterranean spooky $h!t?? The dead babies on the window sills, graveyard picnics, crypt crawling...oh, and the thing living in the staircase???
