Adventures based on specific literary sources?

Hey, all!
*Points at registration date.* - Boy, have we grown old!
I haven't really done any research on this myself, but - this is my problem:
Last weekend, I ran a CoD/nWoD version of the old "White Dwarf Magazine" module, "The Horse of the Invisible", which of course is based on the story of the same name by William Hope Hodgson. I enjoyed the game, and the preparation as a DM, and I would like to do something like this again - to adapt a literary source, this way.
Now, of course I know there's always Lovecraft, and the adaptations of his works released for CoC/Chaosium. - But I'm not terribly interested in that; I love Lovecraft, but he's not "my" author the same way than others are. (Like Poe, for example. Remember that first post of mine, seventeen long years ago?!
) So, I'm now looking for other adventures, big or small, that adapt classic 19th century Gothic fiction in a properly Ravenloft-y way, regardless of ruleset or otherwise system, and regardless of the modules' age.
Do you have any recommendations for me?
Side note: I've lately also been reading up on the old "Chill" RPG, by Pacesetter et al. Liked it way better than I expected!
Stay safe, everyone, and thank you in advance!
