    Does anyone know of any dark and thrilling classics based in 1900's (1900 - 1920 time period preferably)?

    Well there's H. P. Lovecraft and Lord Dunsany, they are about as dark and thrilling as I can think of in that time period off the top of my head.

      Thanks for the recommendations I've just checked out a couple of Lord Dunsany books on here and they definately look like my kind of book!

      Lord Dunsany inspired H. P. to write his own stuff. And there is a guy before Dunsany, the last name is Machen I believe and he wrote a book called The Yellow King.
