Have you read Borges? He was a big influence on Wolfe and has some great stuff.
Some of the stories in Dr. Death are kind of out there, even for Wolfe.

Have not read Jorge Borges. Just looked him up. Some say you need to be able to read the Spanish version of some of his works to get full impact (I can’t) but I’m not dissuaded. Guessing that’s more true for his sonnets than his fiction. Ordered Labyrinths for my queue. Thanks for the recommendation.
