Hello friends! Would you like to recommend me a horror novel to read?

I just finished The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay. Mr Tremblay is a compelling writer and I know that many people enjoy his work very much but I hated almost the entire book - I think I kept reading out of spite, more than anything else. Because he gets generally good reviews in horror circles, I had hoped that my extremely similar reaction to his Head Full of Ghosts was due to the fact that I tend to dislike possession horror a lot, but no. I just dislike his books.

Anyway. I want to read a different horror novel to get the taste out of my mouth, but cannot settle on anything. Would any of you like to suggest one?

The Bone Key by Sarah Monette (a short story collection focusing on a museum archivist's various run-ins with the supernatural) and Dreadful Skin by Cherie Priest (three connected stories about a nun pursuing a murderous werewolf across post–Civil War America) are two I enjoy.

Oh, I love The Bone Key - I should reread. And I haven't read any Cherie Priest. Thanks!
