Example being the tone shift in the last third of Dhalgren. Not looking for horror itself because the genre is full of hack frauds.

i haven't read dhalgren so i'm not sure i fully understand the tone you're looking for, but i would say that jg ballard novels have a creepy/unnerving dimension that never really delves into horror territory.

it was kind of creepy how the protagonist kept running into filthy bikers who wanted to expose themselves.
