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?

I recently finished Dark Duets, which is a short story collection (edited by Christopher Golden). It leans WAY more horror than fantasy, and while there were a couple of stories that I wasn't keen on, most of them were really good. Better than the average short story collection, probably because each story was a collaboration between two authors. Might be a good way to wash the Tremblay away (and he is not one of the authors included).
