I've been reading a lot of horror recently, so I can suggest a few off the top of my head.

Hell House by Richard Matheson

Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill

The Shining by Steven King

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski (You might hate this one.)

Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay

Also, I'm not sure if you're into comics, but there's a bunch of great horror there. I recommend Locke and Key, Colder, and Wytches.

This is one of my favorites right now https://www.amazon.com/Head-Full-Ghosts-Novel/dp/0062363247

It is about a girl who was part of a reality show about her sister being possessed by a demon when they were younger. The narrative shifts between her doing a interview as an adult and a random pop culture blog discrediting the show's authenticity (but the author still really loves the show). Keeps you guessing the whole way through. You will beg people to read it so they can talk to you about it later.

EDIT: typos

If you're looking for Lovecraftian themes, I just finished [Agents of Dreamland](Agents of Dreamland https://www.amazon.com/dp/0765394324/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_hZFNAbEX6ABC8). Pretty short but really well-written.

For strictly horror, the most recent that I've read is [A Head Full of Ghosts](A Head Full of Ghosts: A Novel https://www.amazon.com/dp/0062363247/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_e1FNAbNNG9C04). Word is that it's being made into movie.

For something that's a good mix of Lovecraftian vibes and horror, though it's a bit more open-ended, is [The Southern Reach](The Southern Reach Trilogy https://www.amazon.com/dp/0008286639/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_u2FNAb5PVQQ2V) trilogy. It's the one from which recent movie Annihilation was based.

Hopefully this was helpful.

A Head Full Of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay


Summary:
A chilling thriller that brilliantly blends psychological suspense and supernatural horror, reminiscent of Stephen King's The Shining, Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House, and William Peter Blatty's The Exorcist.

The lives of the Barretts, a normal suburban New England family, are torn apart when fourteen-year-old Marjorie begins to display signs of acute schizophrenia.

To her parents’ despair, the doctors are unable to stop Marjorie’s descent into madness. As their stable home devolves into a house of horrors, they reluctantly turn to a local Catholic priest for help. Father Wanderly suggests an exorcism; he believes the vulnerable teenager is the victim of demonic possession. He also contacts a production company that is eager to document the Barretts’ plight. With John, Marjorie’s father, out of work for more than a year and the medical bills looming, the family agrees to be filmed, and soon find themselves the unwitting stars of The Possession, a hit reality television show. When events in the Barrett household explode in tragedy, the show and the shocking incidents it captures become the stuff of urban legend.
