The Hill of Dreams is a great recommendation, it doesn't get mentioned often enough (or at all :-) I think. I think his The Three Impostors is even better.
If you like this sort of weird early 1900's mystic book, be sure to also check out David Lindsay's Voyage to Arcturus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Voyage_to_Arcturus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Voyage_to_Arcturus).
- fogus 4y agoThe early 1900s mystical fiction is a rabbit hole for sure. Voyage to Arcturus is a very good recommendation! Others in this vein include, but are not limited to: Armed with Madness by Mary Butts The Golem by Gustav Meyrink Flower Phantoms by Ronald Fraser The Stone Dragon by R. Murray Gilchrist and so many more.

- TedDoesntTalk 4y ago> The Golem by Gustav Meyrink I read this more than 20 years ago, and it still comes to my mind frequently. It’s haunting. Keep trying to read it again.
