The original Necroscope Series was:

Necroscope
Vamphrii
The Source
DeadSpeak
Deadspawn

After that it gets a little murky with:

Blood Brothers
The Last Aeri
Bloodwars

And then the newer ones:

The Lost Years vol 1 & 2

And the even more recent:

Defilers
Avengers
Invaders

• Peter Straub's Ghost Story. It gets all sorts of praise as being extraordinarily creepy, and it is! For certain people it might not be very fast in getting to the darker parts, but it really does get damn creepy. Highly recommended.
  
• H.P. Lovecraft's "The Dreams in the Witch House." I feel about Stewart Gordon how FPW felt about Michael Mann, circa 1983, for the atrocious adaptation he made of it for Masters of Horror, so if you liked that (weirdo), odds are you won't like this. Very subliminally creepy, and definitely not something you should read if you wake up in the middle of the night (dreams...nightmares...get it??). Come to think of it, most of his works are this good.
  
• Joseph Citro. I've only read these novels written by him, but they all proved to be quite unsettling: Shadow Child, Lake Monsters (AKA Dark Twilight), and The Gore (AKA The Unseen). Goes for the jugular while peppering all sorts of disjointed clues throughout, and then everything comes together in the end...even as a person falls apart (sometimes literally).
  
• Stephen King's Pet Sematary. Forget how popular he is for a minute and actually give him--and in particular this book--a chance. You won't regret it...it has one of the all-time coldest, grimmest, most clutching-your-heart-in-an-icy-grip endings I've ever read.

Harvest Home by Thomas Tryon
Son of the Endless Night by John Farris
Escardy Gap by Two British guys (I think one is Cosgrove??)
KoKo by Peter Straub (more suspense than horror, I think)
