Some recommended philosophical horror?

Hullo,

I'm looking for similar horror books as the stuff written by Ligotti. I recently read Teatro Grotesco by him, and fell in love with his short stories. Sadly, despite being amazing at what he does, his books are notoriously rare to find (with his greatest work, Nightmare Factory, selling at 500+$ for used copies on amazon).

P.S. I've read most of the works by Kafka, and Lovecraft.
 
Funny, I've been bumping into Ligotti's name a lot today. I think that's a sign I must read him.

I don't know about his style, for some good thinking man's horror:

Gustav Meyrink:The Golem
Vernon Lee: Hauntings
Alfred Kubin: The Other Side
William Hope Hodgson: The House on the Borderland
James Hogg: The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner
Aleister Crowley: The Moonchild
