Horror book recommendations like Graham Masterton?

I've not read horror since I was 16/17 but back then I really liked Graham Masterton. Burial, Prey, Dark Angel.

I've since found out he doesn't have a very good reputation!!

But I want to get back into horror so I'm looking for recommendations please?

Caveat: no Stephen King please!

You're welcome, I just remembered Shaun Hutson too.

Is "The Girl With All The Gifts" horror? I suppose so. One of the best books I've ever read

American Psycho is a classic. It gave me nightmares lol

House of Leaves is is an awesome book, but requires a physical copy of the book. Audio book is a disservice, in this case.
