Whenever I ask for horror book recommendations, I tend to get slow burn/psychological horrors along the lines of I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. That’s not what I’m looking for. I’m looking for more traditional horror with kills, external danger etc. to use a movie analogy: I’m not looking for Hereditary, I’m looking for Halloween. Can anyone recommend me some great horror books along these lines? No Stephen King, please: I’m all Stephen King’d out!

I’m currently reading The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix and it’s a ton of fun.
Also, I’m obliged by the Reddit rules to recommend Between Two Fires which I did love
Uh maybe fits. Beautiful Darkness.
Try Stephen Graham Jones. His Indian Lake trilogy in particular is a love letter to slashers.
Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
I read it for the first time in high school and I would go to sleep with the light on. He just came across as pure evil.
