Robert McCammon (Swan Song, and Stinger) is very good. Also, Brian Lumley (Necroscope series) for his awesome skills. These two are top on my list besides, Anne Rice, Peter Straub, Clive Barker, John Saul... the list could go on forever. LOL. Maybe this helps a little.

Jack Ketchum (this is who Stephen King reads when he wants to be scared)..
Oh.. another one that is really out there is Poppy Z. Brite
I also second Clive Barker, Mark Z. Danielewski, and Thomas Tryon (although I'd suggest Harvest Home before The Other)

Try the oldies - some of the classics are the best:
M R James
Guy de Maupassant
Edgar Allan Poe
Lovecraft
Ray Bradbury...more modern
These guys knew how to create atmosphere and their writing was beautifully understated which adds class to any good horror story

Thomas Tryon was a good horror author. He dealt with the horror of human psychology which would take things to what SEEMS like a supernatural level, but isn't.
"The Night of the Moonbow" was my favorite from him.

Clive Barker. Try Kurt Vonneygut, he isnt a horror writer, but the things he writes about can be scary.

You can't beat the classics in my book- Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and Bram Stoker's Dracula.
