This is the other chart that the anon of the first chart has made. It's only weird horror short story collections from 2000 and upward (if I'm correct on that), and I see it as a companion piece to both his old chart and my new one.
I didn't add Adam Nevill to the chart because I'm sadly not well versed in newer horror literature, and find it very difficult to choose newer works by different authors purely on opinions/reviews of others, when recency bias is a big thing. With older works, even if I haven't read them yet, there's a pretty strong general opinion on them, their literary qualities and impact it had. That's why I was able to switch, for example, The Ceremonies for Dark Gods; the general consensus is that The Ceremonies is too long and/or slow for the story it's trying to tell, and that Dark Gods is very strong and a better place to start if you want to read T.E.D. Klein's works.
With newer works, that's really difficult to do. I am planning on reading a lot more modern horror this year, as well as read more of the books on the chart I haven't read yet. (I know it's a collective effort to make a chart like this, but I do like knowing enough about it myself to update it if needed without much need of others.)
Either way, I haven't read Nevill at all, and have heard mixed reviews of some of his work (mostly The Ritual, which is his most read work). I also try not to copy a lot of works from the short story collection chart (even though I did do it a bit with Ballingrud and Evenson), because the charts go well together. (Some Will Not Sleep is on the collection chart.)

for who's interested, here's the weird stories chart (it's weird/horror short story collections from after 2000)
