Yes, it could be. It might be a horror novel presented in a rather strange or unique way, like having some sort of connection to toilet paper perhaps in the plot or as a unique marketing gimmick.

New Conley Hospital was one of the plots of some horror novels such as Dark Matter, Dark Forest, and The Three-Body Problem. In these novels, New Conley Hospital was a mysterious medical institution used to conduct various supernatural experiments and treatments. These experiments could lead to physical and psychological abnormalities or even death. These novels also often depicted the terrifying incidents and strange atmosphere in the hospital, making people's hair stand on end.
I'm not sure what 'ost American horror story' is supposed to be. If we assume it's related to American Horror Story, that show has been evolving and presenting different horror ideas over time, but it's not something brand new in the grand scheme of horror as a whole. There are always new shows and movies trying to bring fresh takes on horror, but American Horror Story has been part of the established horror television landscape for some time.
Perhaps a theme of betrayal. It could be that a character is betrayed by someone they trust, which then leads to their terrifying ordeal. Or there could be a theme of the supernatural taking over the normal world. For instance, demons or ghosts invading a peaceful town and causing chaos, which is a typical and effective horror story element.
There was a new horror story about a haunted hospital. The hospital had been closed for years due to a series of mysterious deaths. A journalist named Tom wanted to get a scoop on the story. He managed to break into the hospital at night. As he walked through the dimly lit corridors, he heard the sound of a gurney being pushed. But there was no one in sight. He entered an operating room and saw bloodstains on the table. Suddenly, the lights went out. He could feel a presence right behind him. When he turned around, he saw a figure in a doctor's coat, but the face was hidden in the shadows. He tried to run but kept running into dead - end corridors.
New horror novels frequently explore psychological horror more deeply. They get into the minds of the characters and the readers, making you question what is real and what is just in the character's tortured mind. There is also a trend towards more visceral and grotesque horror, using detailed descriptions to really make the reader's skin crawl.
There is no real place for sex horror stories in the mainstream as they are not in line with the values of most audiences. Horror is better focused on things like monsters, the unknown, and psychological terrors. For example, the idea of a haunted asylum where patients' tortured spirits still roam is a great horror concept without any sexual elements.
New horror novels often blend modern fears with traditional horror elements. For example, they might incorporate technology - related scares, like in some novels where smartphones or the internet are used as tools of horror.
