I'd read Sebald for the more introspective stuff. It must be nice to be able to read the original German version too (though there was a LOT of work put into the English translation, and it shows).

My other choice would be Turn of the Screw to start with because it's short, it's legitimately scary, and it's got ambiguity that opens up analysis and theories out the *******.

I'm guessing you've read Silence and...Hamlet?
