The horror genre is filled with garbage. What is often considered good is neither scary, nor engaging. For example, Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House is considered a classic, and yet it's really not that good. Hell House by Richard Matheson is considered a great novel, and quite scary. It ends in the most ridiculous manner ever, and is not scary at all.
With that said, the only horror I've really enjoyed is Stephen King, and he's considered a low brow novelist. But really, The Shining is incredibly creepy, and a fun read -- it's actually far better than the movie, which is also quite good. It is an engaging read that will make you understand why people fear clowns.
