Hi Arashi,
if you have the chance, some day you should read The Case of Charles Dexter Ward by Lovecraft. It includes some flashbacks to the 18th century that are far more historically realistic than what was attempted on DS--the closest link, I think, apart from a Professor Stokes-like character who gets involved, is that it was an inspiration (via the film adaptation, The Haunted Palace) for the film Night of Dark Shadows.
I personally find Lovecraft's fiction quite addictive. The Lurker at the Threshold and The Thing on the Doorstep are great yarns both of which have a DS sort of atmosphere about them. I guess you'll either love it or hate it. It's difficult to be indifferent to HPL!
