Can I possibly recommend Andrew Laurance's books for great Horror. I really like them, and never tire of re-reading them (something I can't say for all the Horror writers I've tried- some of them once was enough- and in a few cases, too much!)
Most of his books - there aren't many- probably only about seven or eight in total- date from the 80's and as such are mostly out of print, but you can still pick a lot of them up on Amazon, or, like me, in a dingey corner of your local second hand book shop!
Essentially, his main thrust was a trilogy of books dealing with the descendants of Nostradamus in the present day, and the machinations of trying to create a 'super-child' with the same abilities- only greatly enhanced. Over the three books, The Embryo/ The Link/Premonitions Of An Inherited Mind, you get to meet the generations of the present family, and really get drawn in to the intrigue and the horror of what they are trying to create!
Another stand-alone book is The Hiss, where a monk discovers he has the ability to, not only predict death through visions overlaid on the people he is looking at, but also is able in some cases to speak to the dead. One such encounter leads him into a web of intrigue that goes as far as the Vatican.
Dunno if this is anyone else's thing or not, but for the price of a couple of quid for a used copy, they're well worth a go!
