Why is horror in literature generally so bad?

Stephen king is generally hippie bullshit like psychic characters and flower power, then cheap shock tactics like sexual perversion

Hp lovecraft is basically a meme now, where his short stories and creature features often shine brighter than his more well known literature

And Clive barker is basically just a fantasy writer with some gore splashed in his books once and a while (unless he writes about cenobites)

Can anyone suggest some well thought out/crafted horror? I recently read the cormorant and it was great!

Someone suggested the raw shark texts and that was fucking stupid.

I'd rather tell you to watch The Pervert's Guide to Cinema and The Pervert's Guide to Ideology.

Once you realized how fucked you are, you'll experience some good horror.

These are full of sweeping statements and pseudo-scientific psychology.. also known as personal opinions. Though they are kind of entertaining, I wouldn't take them seriously.

Excruciatingly boring world full of non-characters + a gizmo/monster/elf = Sci-Fi/Horror/Fantasy

The toilet of Literature.

Also, man I've been looking for that photo for years!
