The Creature from Beyond Infinity by Henry Kuttner

Like a great, lethal snake, plague creeps through the galaxies. No conscious entity can halt its progress, and life is slowly draining from planet after planet. Only one super-intelligence is capable of preventing cataclysm. To do it, he must penetrate far beyond infinity--to the formless, deathless creature out to kill the universe. A pulp novella that can stand right next to any other Sword and Spaceship tale from the era. In this story, there are two co-running plots of an alien searching for human geniuses throughout time and one of those geniuses striving to contain a pandemic that is turning people into life force vampires. With muscle and brain-bound men, strong-willed beauties helpless in the arms of strong men, and lots of action.

Uncanny Stories by May Sinclair

Uncanny Stories is a collection of tales of the supernatural. Eerie, startling and, of course, macabre, they are also terribly civilized and incredibly filmic. May Sinclair was an innovator of the modern thriller fiercely admired by H.P. Lovecraft; a late Victorian who was also a precursor to Virginia Woolf. She combines the traditional ghost story with a twisted psychological approach incorporating the revelations of Freud and Einstein.

Two lovers are doomed to repeat their empty affair for the rest of eternity... A female telepath is forced to face the consequences of her actions... The victim of a violent murder has the last laugh on his assailant... An amateur philosopher discovers that there is more to Heaven than meets the eye....

It is best to read these tales in your bed on a dark, windy night while the Gothic and supernatural swirl about you. If your floorboards creak, then so much the better.
