Pic related if you can find it. Really great stories, effective if you're creeped out in the woods. I'd also recommend Bentley Little. I've only read The House and his short stories in The Collection, but they're really ace.

It depends on your particular interests. H.P. Lovecraft is always good, The Dunwich Horror and The Shadow over Innsmouth are my favourites.

The Exorcist novel is legitimately terrifying.

The Haunting of Hill House
The Wendigo, The Willows
The Great God Pan

Maybe 90% of Lovecraft is dull, plodding tripe. Will second The Dunwich Horror though.

You should screen cap a bunch of innawoods stories if you're planning on reading them out loud or something.

I have no idea why but this is 100% true. Every JK Rowling fan I've met is a big Stephen King fan too or vice versa.
