Every few months I'll put a post like this, because for some reason I have trouble finding this particular genre. Or at least finding good books in in this genre.
I want some good occult fiction. Things like demons or witches or characters summoning things they you shouldn't have.
I was told Voice Like a Hyacinth is actually scary, and I'm about halfway through it. I'm not finding it scary at all, and there's way too much mood setting and descriptions of paintings and art.
I want something to actually scare me. The last days of Jack Sparks was pretty good. The October Film Haunt was decent. Horror Movie by Paul Tremblay was really good.
I've read the exorcist, the Omen, and a lot of the other books that are considered sort of standard in this genre.

Near the Bone by Christina Henry is about an unnamed entity that haunts the woods where the protagonist lives, but it’s also a thriller. I liked it a lot and, while it didn’t truly scare me, my heart was beating so fast during some chapters!
I would also recommend any of Stephen King’s books that deal with the supernatural. Can’t go wrong with those.
