Looking for something more action-thriller paced? Try Jeremy Bates's 'The Catacombs'. It's about a group who explores the forbidden parts of the Paris catacombs and gets stalked by something. The mystery is twofold: what is the historical secret of that section, and what is actually hunting them?
It reads like a survival thriller, but the unknown nature of the threat and the clues hidden in the environment (old markings, remains, etc.) give it a strong mystery core. The horror comes from the claustrophobia and the primal fear of being pursued by an unknown entity in the dark. You're solving the puzzle to survive, which is a classic and effective combo.

How about a web serial? 'The Pale' on Royal Road is a weird west story where a lawman with a parasitic spirit in his head hunts monsters and solves strange crimes. Each case is a supernatural mystery—a town plagued by weeping statues, a mine where miners keep vanishing into thin air. The horror is in the bizarre, reality-bending nature of the threats.
Because it's serialized, the slow-burn overarching mystery about the nature of the 'Pale' and the lawman's own condition builds beautifully. The episodic mysteries keep you engaged while the larger horror of the world deepens. It's a fantastic example of the blend thriving in a modern, digital format.

These are the tales society whispers about but never dares to speak aloud: the aching pull of step-parents and step-children, the dangerous heat of family secrets, and the kind of love that thrives in shadows. From scorching heterosexual passion to steamy lesbian and gay encounters, every flavor of forbidden ecstasy awaits.
Here, rules are shattered.
Hearts betray reason. Characters surrender to the raw, uncontrollable urge to touch what they shouldn’t, step-fathers, step-mothers, blood-bound temptations, and every wicked variation in between.
This is not gentle romance. This is wild, sinful, unapologetic lust wrapped in love. A dance on the razor’s edge between control and chaos, guilt and surrender.
Between the crushing weight of sin and the sweet sting of redemption, these lovers become entangled in secrets, temptation, and pleasure so intense it borders on madness.
Because sometimes the most dangerous thing isn’t the sin itself…

Esmeralda Cantari has spent her life being told she is a mistake.
The unwanted daughter of a powerful angel prince and a disgraced witch, she was cast aside by her father and barely tolerated by her mother’s coven. When her magic fails to appear like every other young mage’s, the coven finally exiles her for good.
But the night they drive her out, something awakens.
Blood answers her call. Wings of midnight blue and black tear free from her back. And suddenly the powerless girl everyone despised becomes something far more dangerous.
Returning to Rosewood Sanctum for her third year, Esmeralda must hide abilities that could make her a target in a school ruled by powerful bloodlines—including the half-siblings who have bullied her for years. Yet strange things are already happening around the academy. Students are disappearing. Bodies are found drained of blood. And rumors of ancient monsters once thought extinct begin to circulate.
The only people who seem to notice Esmeralda’s true potential are the most feared group of heirs at Rosewood: a shadow demon with dangerous curiosity, a brooding shifter whose beast reacts to her presence, a brilliant mage who feels he’s seen her before, a relentless fae warrior who sees her strength, and an angel prince who is watching her far too closely.
As the mystery deepens, Esmeralda begins to realize her awakening may not be a coincidence.
Something ancient is rising in the shadows of the supernatural world.
And it has already started hunting for her.
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.
Are you ready to find out what you've been missing?
Three forbidden mates. Three supernatural bonds. One twisted fate.
A vampire bred for bloodshed. A dragon prince who defies his crown. A demon with nothing left to lose.
For Marcus DeLuca, a mate has always been an impossibility. But fate gives him one anyway. A werewolf. His mortal enemy. And she’s already promised to her alpha. Will he betray his father and Elders to keep Danielle alive?
Aidan is supposed to be untouchable. But one reckless decision—one taste of Sarah—and he shatters every rule that keeps their worlds apart. Now he’s losing control, becoming the greatest danger to Sarah’s life. Can he still protect his reluctant mate?
Zane is used to being wanted. Desired. Feared. As an incubus, pleasure is his weapon—and his curse. But Elena is different. Smart. Ruthless. Untouchable. Not interested in him in the slightest. Can he survive the one woman who sees the monster inside him?
Their bonds are brutal. Addictive. Dangerous.
And the only thing more deadly than loving each other is what happens if they don't.
Another day without him. Another city without him.
I miss him so much... sometimes I wish it was me instead.
After the sudden death of her father, nineteen-year-old Jessica Mia Jones moves to a quiet new town with her cold-hearted stepmother; all she wants is to survive the grief and stay out of trouble.
But this town hides secrets—dangerous ones.
First, Mia finds out she’s adopted.
Then, she discovers her new crush isn’t entirely human.
And worst of all? Neither is she.
As strange abilities awaken and nightmares become reality, Mia is forced to question everything about who—and what—she really is.
In a town where nothing is what it seems, can she uncover the truth before it’s too late?
She falls for two handsome vampire brothers. Now, she must choose.... Lovers of VAMPIRE DIARIES or TRUE BLOOD will enjoy this story.
Discovering the mother that you thought was dead for over a decade is very much alive can shake your world.
Even more so would be to discover that she has become a mutant-vampire leader and has promised you in marriage to a wicked vampire king in order to unite the two kingdoms. Now, let’s combine that with the fact that the bearer of such news is a hot and sexy guy who turns out to be a vampire and he steals your heart. Then, complicate it even more with the fact that he has an equally hot vampire brother vying for your love and who you also have feelings for and you get an idea of Casey's dilemma in this sizzling, action packed first book of paranormal romance thriller trilogy.
Man, sorting through last year's horror releases felt like a treasure hunt, and a few titles really stood out for that creepy-thriller cocktail. Megan Chance's 'The Curse of the Mistwraith' was a serious page-turner that kept me guessing—is the ancient evil in the woods real, or is the protagonist's grief making her see things? The line between psychological unraveling and actual haunting blurred perfectly, and the final act had a locked-room intensity I wasn't expecting.
For something with a more modern, tech-infused dread, 'Signal' by James D. Corey delivered. It follows a cybersecurity expert investigating strange broadcasts that seem to predict deaths, blending ghost-in-the-machine tropes with a genuinely tense corporate espionage plot. The pacing is relentless, more of a sprint than a slow burn, which might not work for everyone but definitely glued my eyes to the page. Corey's use of sound as a supernatural vector was uniquely unsettling.
I also kept hearing whispers about 'The Paleontologist' for its museum-set chills, though I haven't gotten to it yet. The blend seems to be a real sweet spot right now, offering both eerie atmosphere and that propulsive need to know what happens next.
I'm seeing great suggestions, but a lot are Western. For a different cultural perspective on the blend, try 'The Hole' by Pyun Hye-Young. A man wakes from a coma to find his wife dead and himself in her decaying rural house, cared for by his sinister mother-in-law. Is the house rotting from neglect, or is something more supernatural festering?
The horror is deeply psychological, rooted in loss, dependency, and familial dread. The possible supernatural elements—strange sounds, unsettling discoveries—feel like extensions of the protagonist's trapped, deteriorating mental state. It's a slow, suffocating novel where the boundary between a haunted house and a haunted mind dissolves completely. The translation is superb, capturing a uniquely bleak atmosphere.
