Are there any good horror reads from the 21st century? I've read a fair amount of horror but it all comes from the 20th century or earlier.

Can you help me with some grammar please /lit/?

Danny's room was at the end of the corridor—the first door on the left, they’d told me, Room 10A.

>The place smelled musty and stale and hadn’t been decorated in years, by the looks of it.
>The place smelled musty and stale, and, by the looks of it, hadn’t been decorated in years.

>I walked along the corridor past an open courtyard which was surrounded by a high brick wall; the only trace of the outside world a small square of blue sky.
>I walked along the corridor past an open courtyard, surrounded by a high brick wall. The only trace of the outside world was a small square of blue sky.

>Ten years of dealing with kids like Danny hardened you up to places like this, but you were always still nervous for the first visit.
>Ten years of dealing with kids like Danny hardened you up to places like this, but you still always felt nervous for the first visit.

I wasn’t afraid of meeting him; quite the opposite. I was nervous because I wanted to make a good impression.

>I arrived outside Danny’s door, composed myself and gave a gentle knock.
>I arrived outside Danny’s door, took a minute to compose myself and then gave a gentle knock.

“Who is it?”

“It’s Mark,” I said.

If things got off on the wrong foot you’d have a serious problem on your hands.

>I had learned that with Simon, a seventeen-year old who, on our first session, managed to grab me up against the wall and hold a razor blade to my throat.
>I had learned that when a seventeen-year old called Simon, during our first session, managed to grab me up against the wall and hold a razor blade to my throat.

Nobody knew where he got the razor from.

They said they had tightened things up since that incident, but that wasn’t much consolation at the time. Simon could have murdered me that day.

Does anyone else forge a path when they have difficult books to read? For example, I have several difficult books to read which are all in the 'psychological realism' subgenre so I'm reading them in order of difficulty as follows:
Zeno's Con --> The Leopard --> The Man without qualities (currently reading) --> (((A Room))) --> Parallel Stories --> JR

I'm sitting in Canary wharf right now. It's not busy and it's like a shiny future city. There is no council, only "management". The parks and public places are shiny and seem untouched.

The Canary wharf underground is like being in a PS1 game.

Of course seeing Chads and Staceys is demoralising but that goes without saying.

If I wanted to rebuild my knowledge with a solid foundation, what are the essential books and topics that serve such a strong foundation?

Can we develop a list?

Things like logic, grammar, writing, thinking, philosophy etc.

There was an autodidact thread a month or so ago that covered a decent amount relevant to what i'm after, but I can't find the recommendations from that thread.
