I would also suggest 'The Monogatari Series' by Nisio Isin. While it has elements of other genres as well, it has some truly horror - filled arcs. It's known for its complex characters and unique storytelling style.
Sure. 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies' is a great one. It combines the classic 'Pride and Prejudice' with a horror element of zombies. Another is 'John Dies at the End', which has a lot of dark humor and strange, horror - filled situations. And 'Anno Dracula' is also interesting. It reimagines Dracula in a different, more comical and yet still horror - based context.
Sure. 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker is a well - known epistolary horror novel. It uses letters, diary entries, etc. to tell the story of Dracula's arrival in England and the ensuing horror. Another one is 'The Turn of the Screw' by Henry James. The narrative through letters creates an eerie and ambiguous atmosphere, leaving readers to question what is real and what is not.
One great Russian horror novel is 'The Master and Margarita' by Mikhail Bulgakov. It weaves elements of the supernatural, satire, and horror together.

One great short horror novel is 'The Yellow Wallpaper' by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. It's a disturbing tale of a woman's descent into madness. Another is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. The narrator's obsession and guilt are palpable. Also, 'The Monkey's Paw' by W.W. Jacobs is excellent. It shows how a simple wish - granting object can bring great horror.
I would suggest 'House of Leaves' by Mark Z. Danielewski. It's a very complex horror mystery novel with a unique layout that adds to the mystery. The horror comes from the strange house and the events that occur within it. 'The Haunting of Hill House' by Shirley Jackson is another good one. The mystery of what is really haunting Hill House and the psychological horror it creates for the characters is really well - done.
'Desperation' by Stephen King can also be considered in this category. Although not strictly about hiking, there are elements of being in a desolate, small - town environment that gives a similar sense of dread as one might experience while hiking in an unknown and dangerous place. The strange and malevolent forces at work in the town add to the horror factor.
