Well, 'The Sword of Shannara' by Terry Brooks has elements of horror and sword - and - sorcery. It's set in a fantasy world where there are dangerous creatures and a powerful, somewhat menacing magic. Then there's 'The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant' by Stephen R. Donaldson. Covenant, a leper, is thrust into a world of magic and danger that has its share of horror elements. Also, 'A Song of Ice and Fire' by George R. R. Martin, though more known for its political intrigue, has elements of sword and sorcery and some horror - like moments, especially with the White Walkers.

One classic is 'Conan the Barbarian' series by Robert E. Howard. It features Conan, a fearless warrior in a world full of dark magic and terrifying monsters. Another is 'Elric of Melniboné' by Michael Moorcock. Elric, with his cursed sword, battles in a universe filled with sorcery and horror elements. And Fritz Leiber's 'Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser' also belongs to this genre. The two adventurers encounter all kinds of spooky and magical situations in their quests.
