The Paleblood Hunt by Redgrave as an excellent analysis of the Bloodborne lore:

107 pages, incomprehensible to those who didn't play it and massive spoilers for the players who didn't finish.
But Oh My God it is amazing. I've missed a ton of connections on my first play through and this puts everything nicely together.
And the last section dedicated to the final-final ending blew my mind completely.
Play the game, then read The Paleblood Hunt.
