What writers are good at instilling a genuine feeling of dread and fear?

>> No.13591606

Nick Land, while reading his horror writing in a two story apartment during a summer day I began experiencing crowds screaming within myself, his prose wasn't good but that made it even more. I could see a dark room, with one door. One thousand people trying to cram through it. Reality became a flow.

So something Lovecraftian? Hmm... I can't think of any Lovecraftian writers, sorry.

Ligotti with his Teattro Grotesco

T.E. Grau is a pretty good writer that made this collection called the Nameless Dark.

like 90% of them were solid and implied deeper more horrific mysteries than what was already given.

Lovecraft goes without saying.

a couple of works by this guy Jeffrey Thomas induced a bit of disquiet as well.
