OP, in the past few pages you have asked for recommendations for:

* must-read early horror or gothic literature that maybe flies a bit under the modern radar
* 18th-19th century stuff
* poetry that's horror-adjacent
* poetry that captures a sense of the macabre, dread, or darker side of human existence
* horror (or horror adjacent) novels with strong gnostic influence


Les Chants de Maldoror by Comte de Lautreamont checks all those. You need to read that. I recommend the Alex Lykiard translation, it's a very nice book.

The fact that I was introduced to this work by way of Current 93 kinda ties it in nicely with the rest of the recent thread.

Have you read The Hunger by Alma Katsu? It's good.

Can anyone here suggest a good horror story set in the Old West?

The Hunger by Alma Katsu is good horror set in the old west.

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy is amazing. Maybe I'm pushing it a bit on recommending that as horror though.

Check out The Hunger by Alma Katsu - it's a fictional horror based on the Donner party story, and it is good.
