Without going into specifics so the creature/entity/plot is given, I’m looking for horror that is keep-you-up-at-night level. A good wendigo or poltergeist or even disease epidemic book would be greatly appreciated.

I loved books like Pet Sematary, the Troop, The Quiet Boy (short story), Contagion. I try to go into horror blind so I am fully unaware of what to expect, so I’ve read a lot of duds lately. Psychological horror is ok, if it’s unpredictable/not just “normal person gaslit into thinking they’re crazy” type trope.

The only horror I was unable to finish was Tender is the Flesh. My kudos to you if you got through that one.

Thank you all for your advice

    kudos to you if you got through that one

    Cheers!

    One with a somewhat similar theme that you are more likely to get through is Under the Skin as its more sci fi than horror, but still pretty creepy
