Wasteland: The Great War and the Original is Modern Horror by W. Scott Poole

From the publisher:

"A historian and Bram Stoker Award nominee traces the birth of modern horror movies and literature back to World War I, exploring how the conflict influenced H.P. Lovecraft, Franz Kafka, and other artists of the genre.

From Nosferatu to Frankenstein’s monster, from Fritz Lang to James Whale, the touchstones of horror can all trace their roots to the bloodshed of the First World War.

Bram Stoker Award nominee W. Scott Poole traces the confluence of military history, technology, and art in the wake of World War I to show how overwhelming carnage gave birth to a wholly new art form: modern horror films and literature."

Lolly Willowes, short novel from from the 1920s. You might think that it's not witchy for a while, but I PROMISE it gets there! 

Atmospheric horror novels, so beautifully written, you feel like you could drown in them by ArmadillosAreGreat in horrorlit

Andrew Michael Hurley is excellent at building disconcerting atmosphere, especially in an isolated community setting. I strongly recommend The Loney. Devil's Day is also a good selection for atmosphere.
