If this is what you want all I can suggest is anything by 20th century's greatest author of the genre, H.P. Lovecraft.
If you haven't heard of him do an internet search, he has a huge cult following. See Metallica's "The Call of Ktulu" from
Ride the Lightning.
EDIT: Here's an ongoing list of all the pop-culture references to Lovecraft including, Star Trek, Stephen King, Batman comics, Metallica, and the Simpsons:
