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
I recommend James Herbert’s books. There are quite a few standalones but if you’re ok with a trilogy I’d start with The Rats, Lair and Domain (The Rats being his first book).
Thank you for your recs! I haven’t read anything by James Herbert (or if I did I don’t remember)
