I think Frankenstein is the first epistolary horror novel. The main narrative is told by Victor to a sailor who writes everything down. Also, Lovecraft was a fan of this form of storytelling; many of his major stories (e.g., At the Mountains of Madness, The Whisperer in Darkness, The Shadow Out of Time, The Call of Cthulhu) are epistolary.

Re: Books
There are even more stories by Lovecraft written that way but for the most part it's easy to forget about it because it reads more like a character's telling of past events, like normal.
I think he liked it because he could keep the reader in the dark about whether the character would survive or not.
