I’m not a fan of the genre, but I am aware of r/HORROR and r/horrorlit.

You might enjoy Dan Simmon’s The Terror. He’s taken real events (Franklin’s lost expedition of two ships to the Arctic in 1845) and reimagined them with a horror twist

Modern classics like *Rosemary’s Baby* by Ira Levin and *Psycho* by Robert Bloch hold up really well and I would highly recommend both of them. Both of them build a creepy atmosphere that makes the story interesting, I usually don’t read horror novels cause I don’t find them scary, but I couldn’t put down both *Rosemary* and *Psycho*, even though I knew the plot. They aged very well and still are great, creepy books.
I’d also recommend *Annihilation* by Jeff VanderMeer, it’s a great book that leans into exploring the fear of unknown, the atmosphere of unease and distrust towards others makes it an engaging read.
