Solid list that actually captures the early Stranger Things atmosphere rather than just horror. The inclusion of Starling House and Meddling Kids is spot-on, both nail that blend of nostalgia and genuine dread without going full gore. I read Crafting for Sinners last month and the small-town cult dynamic was way more unsettling than expected, the craft store setting sounds cozy until it absolutely isnt. Dunno if you've read Horrorstor by Grady Hendrix but same energy as My Best Friend's Exorcism.
Amazing list!
This is a great list. I'm going to check some of these out
