The Three Impostors by Arthur Machen
Machen is a titan of the weird fiction genre, and this is one of his less famous works. It's an episodic story, the result of serialization, with the framing work of two friends in London with differing views on mystery and spirituality getting wrapped up in a strange web of lies and stories involving magic, lurkers in the wild, and other staples of the old weird.
This is a perfectly diverting book, full of creepiness and period frumpery that was perfectly worth the time reading it. And since it's free on Project Gutenberg, anyone with the slightest urge can give it a try.
