So I've been reading the Aghora series by Svoboda... India's version of Casteneda.
Graveyard yoga has been sharply downplayed in the modern world but even Paramansa Yogananda said in Autobiography of a Yogi that he spent time as a teenager, on his own inspiration even before finding a teacher, meditating in the graveyards. It's instinct for some of these guys that goes back many lifetimes.
Even if it's not for you, it is still fun to see the world through the eyes of a graveyard yogi and there's lots of interesting perspectives offered which may be of interest. But don't read it if you are squeamish... there are many *very* gnarly situations... R rated for sure... keep these books away from the kids!

Lol.. my 3 year old found this book on my shelf and was so obsessed with the gruesome cover that he carried it around for about 3 days. Definitely interesting stuff, although I can't say that it really influenced me.
Here's an interesting documentary about an aghori:

There is one another interesting book to read, but i can't confirm this because i don't have access to this one and only see what is in google books: Dinshah Pestanji Ghadiali - Master of occultism (Himalayi Mahatma Sakramagogo) But you are from USA, so you can read this book in library.
