Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer is really good. It falls more into the genre of "weird" fiction, but it's a pretty horrifying tale. The whole trilogy is good, but the other books are very different from the first, which is still my favorite. Though the third has one of my favorite scenes in the entire trilogy.

But my favorite horror author in general is Thomas Ligotti. He's more of a short story writer than a novelist (though he has one novel I have not yet read), but his collections Songs of a Dead Dreamer, Grimscribe, and Teateo Grottesco are all really good. It's probably not the best comparison, but his writing reminds me of like a fusion of Cormac McCarthy and old Lovecraftian era horror. It's beautifully written in the most existentially horrifying kind of way.
