I will always recommend the Necrososcope series by Brian Lumley - vampires, werewolves, mind powers, and the protag talks to the dead - he makes friends with a dead scientist, learns an equation, and can use the mobius equation to open doorways to anywhere - the first couple of books are slow, but it is soo much fun to read!

Last Days by Brian Evenson has really stuck with me, one of the best and most creative in the ‘cultist’ subgenre. Also seconding Negative Space by BR Yeager.

The Deep by Nick Cutter.

I’m not sure if it’s a case of hindsight, but I finished reading this right before the titanic sub incident and it definitely unlocked a new fear.

Never again reading

No but seriously, what a fantastically well written book. The premise seems cliché to start with but the twist halfway through is really original

I believe it’s been made into a film too
