Horror Recommendations? (literature.cafe)

Hello! In the spirit of Halloween, I wanted to see if anyone had some recommendations for good horror books?!

Open to new and classic books. I've read quite a bit of Stephen King already. Some classics like Dracula, Turn of the Screw, Shirley Jackson books, etc. Exorcist is probably the scariest book I've read.

What else should I try?

I really enjoy T. Kingfisher in general though most of her horror books don't effect me that much. That said I read The Hollow Places not too long ago and I was uneasy and spooked the whole time I was reading it.
