Mr.Pradeep,
                   Tantraloka of Abhinavaguptha is an authoritative and voluminous work on Kashmir Saivism. Apart from that

Pratyabhijna Vimarsa and Siva sutras are available in Market. In English, works and translations of Mr.Jaidev singh are of 

good use to you. Further Mukthabodha online library will be of great use to you. Wishing you good luck.
