That's my problem too... I'm looking for a masterpiece of horror/terror/suspense that I can study and emulate - but everything seems to fall short. I like "The Turn of the Screw" by Henry James, and specially "The Haunt of the Hill House" by Shirley Jackson. But I have no clue about any good scary contemporary novels.
