Any really scary books written by women?
I'm looking for terrifying or disturbing horror books written by female authors. I know 'scary' is subjective, so I'll try to be specific about what I want.
I prefer supernatural horror, especially if it's something unique. I love cosmic horror. I enjoy narratives centered around young characters. I'm not at all interested in serial killers or "humans are the real monsters" type stories.
Off the top of my head, these are some books that have scared the hell out of me:
It, by Stephen King
Threshold, by Caitlin R. Kiernan
House of Leaves, by Mark Z. Danielewski
The Twisted Ones, by T. Kingfisher
And for good measure, some of my favorite horror movies:
Skinamarink
It Follows
Hereditary
The Babadook
Let the Right One In
The Witch
I Saw the TV Glow
