Ambrose Bierce > Poe

From iwkwipdeia:
H. P. Lovecraft characterized Bierce's fictional work as "grim and savage." Lovecraft goes on to say that nearly all of Bierce's stories are of the horror genre and some shine as great examples of weird fiction.

jack ketchum for best horror

Hell House by Richard Matheson

The Weird, edited by Jeff Vandermeer, for anthologies.

All the stuff by Laird Barron and our boy Thomas Ligotti

I strongly recommend some other works by John Ajvide, though I dunno if they've been properly translated to English. Also Ryu Murakami (not Haruki). The problem is that I've never stumbled upon truly "scary" horror literature.

seconding this, especially Harbour. it's not particularly spooky but it's a nice book

Melton the Wanderer
The Italian
The Monk

If you are patient and re-read him Lovecraft will provide you with all the horror you need. Shit like ghost and demons will never scare you again once you understand the stuff Lovecraft was trying to point out.

Otherwise... eh... some Stephen King shit or something.

Implying the degeneration of our society thanks to thethe influx of shitskins and muslims is not terrifying. As a European it bothers me.

Because whites lived in america 1000 years ago right?

Why don't yall go back to Europe and take the Africans back to where you picked them up from on your way there.
