What are you reading? Any good horror you've read recently?

I'm constantly reading to complete and improve on this chart I made 1.5 years ago, and to get a better understanding of horror literature in general.

Recently finished The Case Against Satan by Ray Russell, and currently reading The Elementals by Michael McDowell.
The Case Against Satan was pretty good. It's very clear to see the massive influence it had over both Rosemary's Baby and especially The Exorcist. Russell's collection Haunted Castles is superb though, and still the book I'd recommend to someone who wants to check out his works.

There's tons of possible books that could be added to this chart (and I'm not going to list them all), but the ones I've read so far and want to add to the next iteration are:
>Horace Walpole - The Castle of Otranto
>Nikolai Gogol - "St. John's Eve", "A Terrible Vengeance", "Viy"
>Jeremias Gotthelf - The Black Spider
>Hanns Heinz Ewers - Alraune
>Edogawa Ranpo - "The Human Chair", "The Caterpillar"
>Jean Ray - Malpertuis
>Roland Topor - The Tenant
>Harlan Ellison - "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream"
>Giorgio de Maria - The Twenty Days of Turin
>Karl Edward Wagner - In a Lonely Place
