check out paul tremblay if you want proper nightmare fuel – his collection growing things and other stories is absolutely mental. read one called the teacher a few months back and couldnt sleep properly for days thinking about it. theres this one story about a kids drawing that genuinely made me turn all the lights back on at like 2am which is embarassing for a grown man but whatever. also caitlin r kiernan does some properly disturbing stuff if you can find her older collections – really gets under your skin in that weird lingering way where youll be brushing your teeth later and suddenly remember some horrible detail

Stephen King’s night shift. I’d recommend different seasons which is four short stories by him but they’re not really horror stories, well the last one kind of is.

Robert Aickman is the correct spelling. He is a true craftsman of the creepy and disturbing sectors.
