Well, if you're not able to find a new one because you've exhausted your go-to authors or popular lists, might I suggest Dan Simmons?

I only have experience with his science fiction, which is very highly-regarded, but I have heard good things about his horror novels. This one caught my attention, though on first glance it may seem silly. Stephen King seems to be pretty fond of it, as you can see from the description.

Well . . . if you're looking at a book simply as a collection of text, I too have never feared a line of text. What books allow, is a slow building of fear that require quite a bit of character development. I don't read horror novels waiting to be frightened, and truthfully read very little horror. The fear just happens. To be honest, it's a different type of fear - more of an uneasy feeling really. Certainly, a book can't have, what my son calls, "The scary jump out scenes". But if we exchange the term fear with edgy, here are a list of my favorite books with an "Edge":

[The Passage] (http://www.amazon.com/The-Passage-Novel-Book-Trilogy/dp/0345528174)
[The Terror] (http://www.amazon.com/Terror-Novel-Dan-Simmons/dp/0316008079/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1404481514&sr=1-1&keywords=terror)
The Stand
Carrion Comfort
Desperation
I am Legend
The Sparrow
Night
Frankenstein
All Quite on the Western Front
Hunger
Blood Meridian
Watchers
The Minus Man

In no particular order - Not the usual suggestions either. Hope it helps, and happy reading!

In light of his early years in WWII, and his subsequent rise to power and wealth, he fits eerily into the vampire plot of Carrion Comfort.

The author also wrote The Terror, currently a miniseries on AMC, and the Hyperion Cantos, btw.
