Answer 1

"The Historian" by Elizabeth Kodova combines aspects of history, fantasy, myth and horror-- you might want to check it out.
Books by Sherman Alexie reveal some of the culture of the Spokan tribe; I advise "The Toughest Indian in the World," short stories that are quite good. And for more-- "Reservation Blues" is a novel by him that combines that culture and others into a drift of fantasy as well. Good!
"Ghost Story" by Peter Straub remains my favorite horror story... I really think this one is scary, all the way through.
"Grendel" by John Gardner is a great take on the Beowulf legend from the monster's viewpoint.
EDIT: all of these books should be at your local library, or at your favorite bookstore. if they are not, each of these places can order them for you and you'll have them in a few days...

Answer 2

Gutenberg has thousands of free books by dead authors for download. Wikipedia, which isn't ordinarily a favorite reference of mine, offers these authors of early horror writings: The brothers Grimm are grim, Walpole's "The Castle of Otranto" started 'Gothic friction', Shelley's "Frankenstein" and Stoker's "Dracula" established monsters and vampires, and Henry James's "Turn of the Screw" demonstrates that a ghost story can also be literature. Poe and Lovecraft wrote eerie stories, but Gutenberg doesn't list Lovecraft.

If you have a favorite author of your own who died before about 1936, Gutenberg is the place to go.
