Someone mentioned Harlan Elllison - great stuff. Get hold of 'Strange Wine', as it has - in my opinion - the greatest short-story-with-a-fortean-bent ever: 'Croatoan'
Read John Connolly's 'Nocturnes' - not bad. Capable, but lacking atmosphere. For true spectral subtlety I'd go for either an M. R. James or Ramsey Campbell collection. Campbell is the only writer - that I'm aware of - who can invoke a genuine sense of unease in the reader.
