Check for Dorchester Publishing. They have an imprint called Leisure Books and they specialize in horror novels. Generally 2 per month. Just browse around there and see if anything tickles your fancy.

Peter Straub, particularly his early work like Ghost Story, Julia, and Shadowland.
The Magus by John Fowles -- maybe not horror per se, but it definitely has the atmosphere.
The Collected Short Stories of Richard Matheson, Volumes I-III.

I'm listening to the audiobook version of Joe Hill's 20th Century Ghosts now, and I think some of these stories are pretty atmospheric. Some of them fall flat too, though. But that's the case with any short story collection.

Re: Horror Novels ?
Agreed. There's zero atmosphere. Not at all what the OP was asking for. Not sure why anyone would have recommended them here (or anywhere, for that matter, but certainly not here).
