I have two horror/thriller novels out.

One is a thriller about a haunted gun. If you pick up the gun, you can't drop it until you kill six people with it. I pitch the book as Dexter meets Deathwish.

The other is small-town horror. It's about people who trade away their sick/injured body parts to an organ-swapping demon. If you leave town with your traded parts, they vanish from your body. The townspeople are thus stuck there until one day the demon offers them a chance to escape--but of course, there's a catch... I pitch the book as Salem's Lot meets Hellraiser.

Message me if either sounds up your alley (If I name the books, I might get modded for self-promo).

As for other recommendations...

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch - Tight sci-fi thriller about the multiverse. Guy gets taken from his world and has to find his way back to his family while uncovering the mystery of why he was taken.

First Law Trilogy by Joe Abercrombie - I don't reach much fantasy, but this grimdark trilogy portrays flawed, broken characters that are not your typical tropey heroes: a crippled inquisitioner, a washed-up warrior, a spoiled-brat prince, etc. Abercrombie's writing style is ridiculously readable IMO.

The Fourth Monkey by JD Barker - Gripping, suspenseful thriller. A serial killer kidnaps a girl, but the detectives can't capture or interrogate him because dies in the opening chapter. The detectives have to examine his diary and piece together clues that lead to the kidnapped girl's location.

NightWhere by John Everson - Supernatural horror story about a sex club on the boundary between earth and hell. I thought this one would be sleazy/cheesy, but it's remarkably creepy, well-written, and heartbreaking.
