I've only read a couple of horror novels but I really enjoyed them. I've also read standard fantasy (LotR, ASoIaF, WoT) but I dont know if I want to start a whole saga unless its really really good. Thanks for any recs!
The Passage by Justin Cronin might work – its technically a trilogy but the first book stands alone pretty well if you dont want to commit to the whole thing. Its got that horror-fantasy blend that might hit the sweet spot for you, though fair warning it gets pretty heavy in places
Also maybe check out The Road by Cormac McCarthy if you want something shorter but equally gripping, though thats more post-apocalyptic than straight horror
