I always enjoy fantasy/horror books in which the author doesn’t just use 
an existing occult mythology bit invents a whole new one. Books like 
Fritz Leiber’s “Our Lady of Darkness”, which I’m reading now. The book 
concerns megapolisomancy, which could be described as the occult science 
of big cities. Supposedly invented by a mythical author called Thibaut 
de Castries at the end of the 19^th century, megapolisomancy deals with 
the destructive energies stored by big cities, energies that can give 
rise to dangerous occult beings called paramentals. These destructive 
energies are not just things like electricity, but also arise from the 
geometry of cities. Diagonal streets are especially hazardous. 
Neopythagorean metageometry can unlock the secrets of these energies. I 
just love stuff like this!
