For a deeply unsettling, almost clinical look at psychological terror, try 'Burn the Negative' by Josh Winning. It follows a woman who starred in a cursed horror film as a child and has spent her life running from its legacy. When a remake starts filming, the horrors re-emerge. The book brilliantly ties the protagonist's trauma and PTSD directly to the supernatural events. You feel her anxiety, her dissociation, and her fractured sense of reality. The horror is effective because it’s so rooted in the lasting psychological damage of childhood fame and terror. It’s a smart, gripping mix of Hollywood satire and genuine, character-driven fear.

Hmm, I might be off-topic, but reading this thread made me think of the podcast 'The Magnus Archives.' It's audio, not a book, but the way it builds psychological terror through interconnected statements is pure genius. The fear often comes from the slow realization of a cosmic, inescapable truth that warps the narrator’s reality. It’s a masterclass in building dread through first-person testimony. Maybe someone here knows of novels that use a similar, fragmented, testimony-style structure to achieve that deep psychological unease?

Okay, hear me out: 'The September House' by Carissa Orlando. It's being talked about as a funny haunted house story, but underneath the humor is a devastating and profound exploration of trauma, denial, and the lengths we go to to maintain normalcy. The protagonist refuses to leave her haunted house because, well, the horrors inside are somehow more manageable than the pain of her past. The psychological terror comes from understanding her reasoning. It’s a brilliant metaphor for living with unresolved grief and abuse, making the haunting feel deeply personal and psychologically resonant.
