   You might try something by Tim Powers: _The Drawing of the Dark_ is   
   set during the Turkish siege of Vienna and involves several mediaeval   
   legends; _The Anubis Gates_ (Coleridge's London, time travel, ancient   
   Egyptian magicians) is probably my favourite of his, although _Last   
   Call_ (Las Vegas, gambling for souls, the Fisher King) rivals it; any   
   are worth reading IMO. They are all quite different in setting, but   
   they all weave well-researched history, biography, myth, and folklore   
   together with products of the author's very creative, quirky imagination.
