I'll nominate two in the "dread" more than "fright" category: Dorothy B. Hughes' "In a Lonely Place," about a serial killer in LA and "Lolly Willows" by Sylvia Townsend Warner, about a resolutely single woman who becomes a witch.

I nominate Benito Cereno for conjuring a sense of dread . . . But does that get ruled out with Poe and Frankenstein etc?
