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 liked the books that inspired The Ring movie Not really the genre you asked but something from Clive Barker could be different from the usual
You’re the second person to recommend Barker- I’ll definitely check out their stuff. Thank you!
