I assume that knocks out Joe Hill.
What about Alex North (The Whisper Man, The Shadows)?

Summer of Night is Stand by Me but with a supernatural element. One of my all time favorites.

I love Blue World which is a collection of short stories. The “Pin” story is awesome.

Someone on the movie/tv board claimed that True Detective Season I plagiarized a nonfiction book by a horror author named Thomas Ligotti (The Conspiracy Against The Human Race). His short story compilations of horror short stories are intriguing, and I'm hoping your or someone else reading this will give them a try and let us know (I would, but I started Hyperion and this shite is going to take forever).

I don't know about plagiarized, but if you think of the reading list that would create somebody like Rust Cohle, Thomas Ligotti, Arthur Schopenhauer, David Benetar, etc. would all be on it.

Ligotti is very good. Kind of bleak if you read a lot of his stories in a road. Laird Barron is similar but less inscrutable.

It's true. Some of Cohle's lines are barely even paraphrased lines from that book. I recognized them immediately.
I'd recommend reading at least his collection Teatro Grottesco before The Conspiracy Against the Human Race. It's not essential but he makes amusing references to things in the stories.

Those Across the River by Christopher Buehlman is a good one as well.
I don’t really read horror, but a friend gave this to me and I thought it was well done. Being that I don’t read much of it, I’m probably not a great judge of the genre.
