Also, worth noting, I glazed over the second part in my hast. LOL!!

You can do a ton of HP stuff. People do it all the time with no issues. Lots of mythos based on his stuff. Or Crowley's stuff would be really interesting.

greater than 100, eh.. I don't know if Clark Ashton Smith qualifies. There's also a recent NYRB reissue of "Two Novels of Cosmic Horror" but they're probably only 75 years old. "The Magician" by Somerset Maugham is about Crowley.

Have you been to Gutenburg's horror collection? There's one called "The Sorcery Club" which is pretty fantastic. It's, shall we say, backwards in its anti-semitism but that kind of adds to the decrepitude of the characters.
