I'm reading the Shirley Jackson classic
Haunting of Hill House.
I might sound crazy saying this, but it actually reminds me of Richard Laymon. There is no sex or gore, and the writing is far more poetic, but it has that same, "getting to know likable characters bonding through creepy events" feel that I used to love in his books.
A collection I'm chpping through at the same time is
Wide Carnivorous Sky by John Langan. Very good, scary stories about Zombies, Werewolves, Vampires, Edgar allen Poe and Lovecraft.
