Case I

A Psychical Invasion

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Arthur Conan Doyle
Twelve short cases you can dip into anywhere, and half the pleasure is Watson's patient bafflement while Holmes notices the scuffed boot or the dog that didn't bark. Cozy in the best way, though don't expect deep character arcs, just clever puzzles and fog.
Dracula Bram Stoker
The whole thing unfolds through diaries and letters, so you're piecing it together alongside the characters, and Jonathan Harker's early chapters in the castle still genuinely unnerve. It sags a bit in the middle, but Mina turns out to be the sharpest person in the book.
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man James Joyce
The prose literally grows up with Stephen, from baby talk to feverish theology, and the hellfire sermon in the middle will scare you even if you've never been Catholic. Slow going in spots, but if you like watching a mind assemble itself, this is that.
