While we could always argue over what is horror vs something with horror elements, I think these are some of my faves:
When I discovered dorohedoro manga, I only stopped reading because I fell asleep be8ng too tired. It's such a good manga. It even has its own soundtrack!

Honestly this is the first time I found the bandcamp link for it. I only ever saved a playlist on YouTube lol
Seems to be legit when compared to these lists.

I think it's time for a reread
You've probably already discovered it, but Q Hayashida has a newish manga series out called Dai Dark that scratches the same itch.
No, actually. Thanks for the recommendation.
