The short story “The Thing in the Moonlight” is also quite scary when I read it in my youth.

HPL was my favorite growing up and prolly still is, as for contemporary horror though, Robert McCammon and Clive Barker are pretty hard to beat

I loved those two when I was a kid, but Stephen King’s early stuff still creep-ed me out the most, especially ‘It’...I hate clowns and one that comes up out of the sewer and drags you down just crosses the line. :~)

I just re-read that one last week. It does indeed hold up. Shogoths are the scariest monsters ever.
