There are too many to count. Off the top of my head, some of the books and works with images and themes that are a permanent part of my mental landscape are:
THE LORD OF THE RINGS
the original DUNE cycle
JONATHAN STRANGE AND MR. NORRELL
MOBY DICK
the works of H. P. Lovecraft, Arthur Machen and Algernon Blackwood
I love this. And props for the Buffy image. 👏🏻
