Looking for something spooky but written by women please! Can be old or new, I really lean more towards paranormal or psychological but I’ll take any suggestions 😊

This one is the latest book in a series, but it is seriously terrifying. *Wild Sign*, by Patricia Briggs. SO freaking creepy. My buddy is a horror enthusiast and has a vast collection, but they even struggled to finish it.
I second the Frankenstein suggestion.
Many of Anne Rice’s books hit the squick and fear factors for me, though I think most of the fear I experienced with those was centered around suspense and not action.
