   If you're tired of *Ghost House*, check out these books. They're all incredibly despairing. The fourth book has a larger world-building but is less terrifying, though the plot is engaging. Books one and two are similar and quite good, with the strongest sense of despair. Books 3 and 6 are quite scary. Book five isn't a dungeon-crawler type, but it's very immersive and the scariest. The protagonists in these are all logical, not invincible, and rely on deduction to figure out the ghosts' killing patterns. If you like fast-paced, despairing, slightly scary, dungeon-crawler, semi-powerful characters, and ensemble casts, check out books 1, 2, and 7. They're guaranteed to be good.
