Now you've infected me. I also picked up When Darkness Loves Us. I will admit, I wasn't enthused about it because of the cover. I have an old, unfounded prejudice against the old trope of China dolls in old-timey clothes on a horror cover. However, the synopsis sounds very good.
A couple that I picked up on sale:
The Well by Jack Cady is $2.99 at Amazon US. An 80's horror novel resurrected by Valencourt.

Years earlier, John Tracker fled the insanity of his family and their house, a centuries-old monstrosity that his grandfather Theophilus rigged full of hallucinatory tricks and vicious death traps designed to capture the Devil. Now middle-aged, John receives word that the place is to be demolished to make way for a freeway, and he decides to revisit it with his girlfriend Amy Griffith before its destruction. But when a blizzard traps them inside the house, they will be forced to contend with the dangers hidden within: strange time-shifts, murderous traps, and something evil that stalks the halls in the form of John's grandmother Vera. As the terror mounts, John and Amy will make the horrifying discovery that Theophilus's mad ambition to trap the Devil may have succeeded only too well...

It sounds good. But there's a very good review at
LibraryThing that has me doubting my purchase...
I also picked up
The Deep by Michaelbrent Collings ($2.99 at Amazon US). I love haunted ships/lighthouses and horror at sea.
Quote:
When a rogue wave nearly capsizes a boat carrying a group of divers, the first priority is to find out what happened, and how badly they've been hurt. But their sights soon turn to what has happened below: the seafloor has changed. And the way it has changed is too strange to believe, but offers possibilities too tempting to ignore.
None of the divers has the equipment necessary to safely explore what lays below them, but driven by desperation, by greed - and a few by a chance at salvation - they all descend to the darkest, most dangerous of places.
They will look for treasure. They will look for hope. They will look for the one thing that is most important to them, and will find that it has been offered as bait on a hook. Because in the darkest depths, an ancient creature has awakened; a creature of unsurpassed evil, and unforgiving cruelty.
The divers will descend to it willingly. But will they be able to escape... The Deep?
