I'd argue 'Beloved' by Toni Morrison is one of the most profound ghost novels ever. The haunting is the literal and figurative return of repressed history, rooted in the specific cultural trauma of slavery. 124 Bluestone Road is haunted by a folklore of pain that is both personal and national.
Try 'Ring' by Koji Suzuki, the book that started the J-horror craze. It brilliantly blends a modern urban legend about a cursed videotape with deep folklore about a vengeful spirit, or onryō. The horror comes from the logical, almost scientific unraveling of a supernatural ruleset rooted in Japanese ghost lore.
Absolutely second 'The Only Good Indians.' The way the entity pursues the men isn't just random vengeance; it follows a logic and ceremony drawn from Blackfeet tradition. The horror is cultural, specific, and all the more terrifying for it. The basketball scene? Chilling in a way only that cultural context can deliver.
I always thought the manga 'Uzumaki' by Junji Ito fits. It takes the simple concept of a spiral pattern and builds an entire town's folklore of madness around it. It's the creation of a new urban legend in the most visually disturbing way possible, showing how a pattern can become a cursed cultural touchstone.
'The Death of Jane Lawrence' by Caitlin Starling is a gothic horror with a fantastic premise: a practical woman enters a marriage of convenience only to find her new husband's manor is haunted by the consequences of his magical, blood-based research. The 'folklore' is the intricate, grisly rules of this invented magic system that feels eerily plausible.

Forget everything paranormal romance taught you about playing it safe. The vampires here don't sparkle and the werewolves don't apologize for their nature, here the demons are surprisingly good at negotiation.
Freaky After Dark is a collection of steamy paranormal stories where supernatural creatures get to be exactly what they are; powerful, possessive, and irresistibly magnetic.
These aren't just about pretty faces with fangs. Every creature has their own nature, their own needs, their own way of loving that's deliciously different from anything human.
From vampires whose bites promise pleasure to werewolves who claim their mates under the full moon and demons who seduce with words as much as touch, Nagas who wrap around you, Dragons whose warmth becomes addictive. And yes, a few beings with creative anatomy.
There's an actual story here with conflict, emotion and characters who probably want more than just a quick hook-up. But when desire takes over, these creatures don't hold back, they are intense, devoted, and they know exactly how to make you forget your own name.
Expect claiming marks, protective possession, fated mates, size differences, primal need, reverse harem and pleasures that borders on overwhelming, and supernatural stamina that doesn't quit.
️Not for you if: you prefer things slow and gentle, or if the idea of non-human lovers doesn't appeal.
Perfect for you if: you've always wondered what it would be like to be wanted by something powerful, to be claimed by someone who'll never let go, to find out if monsters really are better in bed.

Ever read 'The Forgotten Island' by David Sodergren? It’s a splatterpunk take where tourists visit a remote Scottish island with a dark myth. The plot kicks off because they actively disrespect local folk warnings and taboos. Their violation of these spoken and unspoken rules is what triggers the horror. The story is a cause-and-effect chain: break a folk rule, suffer a folk consequence. The specific nature of the island's curse (gleaned from the warnings) determines how the violence unfolds. The folklore is the loaded gun, and the characters' ignorance is what pulls the trigger.
