Yes, but my thrillers are really suspense. I rarely read horror. Possibly
Coraline would have scared me as a child, but as an adult I was disappointed.

I on the other hand am afraid to read Shirley Jackson and am scared of Stephen King for life since reading It in the 80s. I have to watch horror movies in the day time!

I gave up on Stephen King long ago, though I liked
Carrie and a few books after that. After I while I decided his stuff was just dumb: e.g., a short story called
"The Mangler" was totally laughable and cartoonish.
Shirley Jackson, though, is fantastic.
