Simon Iff Stories and Other Works, an excellent collection of occult detective tales by Aleister Crowley (yes, that Aleister Crowley).

They're rather unique. There are no supernatural elements whatsoever. Not even paranormal phenomena. These are all very human crimes. But Simon is a magus and he uses Crowley’s philosophy/religion to solve the crimes.

The Dark Angel, a collection of tales by Seabury Quinn published in the early 30s.

He was the most popular of all the Weird Tales writers. His reputation did not last. While other Weird Tales writers have gained some literary respectability Quinn is still reviled as the kind of hack writer who gave the pulps a bad name.

In fact his stories are great fun.
