Infinity:
here are some suggestions
Anything by Dean Koontz - the master of real unreal
Jonathan Kellerman
Ann Rule (Crime File Series) real homicide cases - she´s unique
That would be a good start.
Enjoy, and lock all your windows, doors, etc.,
except, that might not be enough protection...
Happy reading!

Here are some good picks in those genres:
Dragon Tears by Dean Koontz
The story of two Southern California police detectives who track down a demonic serial killer with paranormal abilities.
Intensity by Dean Koontz
A young woman staying as a guest in a Napa Valley farmhouse becomes trapped in a fight for survival with a self-proclaimed "homicidal adventurer", and races to warn his next intended victim.
Hard Truth by Nevada Barr
Ranger Anna Pigeon meets her match in this engrossing new thriller set in Rocky Mountain National Park. Heath Jarrod is a climber now confined to a wheelchair after an accident that left her crippled, angry and depressed. But there's a second act in her future that begins when two terrified, half-naked little girls stumble out of the woods and into Heath's "handicamp"--they've been missing for weeks, but are too traumatized to tell Heath and then Anna where they've been, or what happened to the third girl who disappeared with them. Beth, the younger, wins Heath's heart; with Anna, she pursues an investigation that leads to a bizarre, quasi-religious cult that's set up its headquarters just outside the park's boundaries, and the youth group leader who'd taken the girls into the wilderness and returned without them. Is Robert Proffit the gentle, spiritual man Anna's seasonal law enforcement agent Rita Perry thinks he is, or a twisted rapist and probable killer whose prayers for the innocent girls in his charge mask his evil nature?

Dresden file book series by Jim Butcher.There are 8 books in the series beginning with stormfront.It narrates the story of Harry Dresden,chicago's only professional wizard who works as a detective.He stands between the general population who is ignorant about the supernatural world and the monsters - vampires,werewolves,fallen angels,fey.He is aided by Bob,a talking skull.Karrin Murphy-a police officer and Thomas-a white court vampire.
Another supernatural detective series is Nightside book series by Simon R.Green.John Taylor, the main character, is a private eye specializing in finding things. He literally has a private eye, one he can open and find anything. This power only works in the nightside, but anytime he opens it, his enemies (and he does not know who they are, but they have been hunting him since he was young) pick up on his presence like his gift is a homing devise. He as quite a reputation, some of which is true, some not and it gets him into trouble, or sometimes out of it, but it is the fact that some of it has nothing to do with him so much as that he is his mother's son. A mother he never knew and no one will tell him about. One big case is covered in each book, but underlying tensions build up higher and higher running through out the series.
Hunter's moon,Moon's web are novels written by Cathy Clamp and C.T. Adams about a werewolf Tony Giodone who is an assassin-for-hire by profession.It is written from Tony's first person POV (point of view).Tony meets his new client, one Suzi Quentin. She wanted someone offed. Well, this is child's play to our boy...um...wolf...Tony. Only she knocks him for a loop when she tells him the name of the person she wants killed - herself!So begins the story.
The door to december by Dean Koontz.A psychiatrist's daughter was kidnapped by her ex-husband years ago. When the daughter is finally found, the real fight begins. One by one the people who held her captive become mysteriously tortured and killed. Everyone is afraid the young girl will be next.
The mystery unravels as to what happened to the young girl while she was kidnapped. The young girl, Melanie, is unable to speak, but her mother soon learns that the young girl went through extreme torture as her father used her for a rat in his experiments.
Read both Odd thomas and Forever odd by Dean Thomas.These books are about Odd Thomas who see dead people and is compelled to solve crimes.

"Dark Dance" and "Personal Darkness" by Tanith Lee
"Catseye" by Margaret Atwood (horror with no supernatural elements whatsoever - quite a feat)
"Daughter of the Night" by Elaine Bergstrom
"The House Next Door" by Anne Rivers Siddons

Anything by Dean Koontz http://www.randomhouse.com/bantamdell/koontz/ or John Saul http://www.johnsaul.com/ . They both have such a tremendous amount of books that it's difficult to pick just one from either one of them.
Also, I'd have to include Anne Rice's "Lives of The Mayfair Witches" series (Witching Hour, Lasher and Taltos).

you ought to attempt the Southern Vampire sequence by Charlaine Harris. there's a great little bit of spooky stuff, a large number of vampires, faerys, shapeshifters, werewolves, and all sorts of alternative paranormal beings. The HBO sequence "authentic Blood" is in preserving with those books, if that permits.

Suffer the Children by John Saul is pretty creepy - it has a nice twist in the end - any John Saul books are good.
