Seriously, the stack of books beside my bed is all about folklore, esotericism, mythological creatures, demonology, etc etc. I eat that shit up. Not even lying:

(I had just posted that list in a book thread on another forum, so copy/paste time)
But back on thread topic, here's some cosplay ideas:
Judith from Tales Of Vesperia
Zatanna Zatara from DC Comics
Halibel and Nelliel Tu from Bleach
Miranda Lawson and Subject Zero from Mass Effect 2
Morrigan from Dragon Age: Origins
Psylocke from the X-Men
Chloe Valens from Tales Of Legendia
Momohime from Muramasa: The Demon Blade
Pretty much any of the girls from the Shin Megami Tensei series, since those games revolve around demons and mythology, it prompts some interesting costumes (Naoto Shirogane and Argilla would be my particular recommendations)
Lulu from Final Fantasy X
Viola or Falsetto from Eternal Sonata
