For beginners, 'The Haunting of Hill House' by Shirley Jackson is a great start. It's a short but very effective horror story about a group of people staying in a haunted house. The ambiguity of the horror makes it really interesting.
A really good one is 'Pet Sematary' by Stephen King. It has a simple premise of a burial ground that brings things back to life in a very wrong way. It's not too overly complex and can get new horror readers hooked.
You could also try 'Coraline' by Neil Gaiman. While it's also a children's book, it has a lot of dark undertones and a truly creepy other - mother figure. It's a great way to dip your toes into the horror genre.
