This thread is a good example of supernatural horror if you're into necromancy, but I'll add in Dan Simmon's Carrion Comfort. It's still rare I fall back on the horror habit of my youth, but that book was quite satisfyingly creepy. Many of the characters are extreme racial/ethnic stereotypes on the surface, but he somehow does bring them to life as full fledged characters. And honestly these somewhat cringey elements add to the creep factor.
