Peter Straub's A Dark Matter is $2.99 at Amazon.
I haven't read A Dark Matter yet, but most of what I have read from Peter Straub (Ghost Story, Floating Dragon, Mr. X and Koko) is fantastic. Even books of his I didn't care as much for (Julia, Shadowland, The Hellfire Club) are better written than 99% of what's out there.

On a Midwestern campus in the 1960s, a charismatic guru and his young acolytes perform a secret ritual in a local meadow. What happens is a mystery—all that remains is a gruesomely dismembered body and the shattered souls of all who were present. Forty years later, one man seeks to learn about that horrifying night, and to do so he’ll have to force those involved to examine the unspeakable events that have haunted them ever since.
