(Thinking in terms of collections and encyclopedias, rather than essays or commentaries.) I've found a mountain of encyclopedias on here, some of them covering this whole topic, and some of them specializing in certain parts of this topic. All of them look promising, but again they're all focused on the same topic. On the one hand, I wanna miss out on as little information as possible. On the other hand, I don't wanna have shelves and shelves of books pretty much repeating the same things over and over again. I know it's a long shot, but could someone help me pick the most complete, most interesting combination of collections of spooks, legends, lore, fantastic beasts, and world mythology?

If your aim is to build an authoritative reference library on myth and folklore, this is a classic in the field. You might also take a look at Edith Hamilton's "Mythology" and the works of Joseph Campbell.
