It's hard to find manga / anime using horror like the western world does, so I'm just going to list some psychological material that leaves most people uneasy.
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni / When the Cicadas Cry is a fantastic horror manga, but the art is pretty bad. It's a time-loop mystery. I'd recommend the anime instead. Collection of short stories that tie together in the end.
Kiseijuu isn't entirely scary, but it's an incredible horror / psychological story. It's very old, but it just received an anime adaptation this year that's very faithful to the source material. Long chapters.
Shinsekai yori is heavy on psychological horror. Easily the greatest horror / psychological story I've ever seen, but the manga is garbage. Watch the anime, you won't regret it. Very sci-fi.
Corpse Party is a gorefest with high quality art, but lacking in depth. 40ish chapters. 4 episode OVA that's not nearly as good.
Gakkougurashi is totally different from anything I've mentioned so far, but it's worth a look. A group of 4 girls and a teacher live in a high school under the name of the School Living Club where they perform activities that keep the school in shape. The twist is that all of this is simply a broken girl's delusion, and the reality is that they are living in an apocalypse. The other girls allow Yuki to live in this state of mind because it gives them hope, but it's naturally a huge setback. It's got a lot of cute girls doing cute things, but the meat of the story is how the girls handle living a normal life in an abnormal scenario.. It's currently ongoing at 40ish chapters.
Monster is a very complex story that most people won't be able to grasp, but you can probably handle it just fine. Describing how complex this story is is impossible, so here's a copy-paste of the premise: Dr. Kenzo Tenma is a renowned young brain surgeon of Japanese descent working in Europe. Highly lauded by his peers as one of the great young minds that will revolutionize the field, he is blessed with a beautiful fiancé and is on the cusp of a high promotion in the hospital he works at. However, all of that is about to change with one critical decision that Dr. Tenma faces one night—whether to save the life of a young child or that of the town's mayor. Despite being pressured by his superiors to perform surgery on the mayor, his morals force him to perform the surgery on the young child, saving his life and forfeiting the mayor's. All of a sudden, Dr. Tenma's world is turned upside down by his decision leading to the loss of everything he previously had. A doctor is taught to believe that all life is equal; however, when a series of murders occur in the vicinity of Dr. Tenma, all of the evidence pointing to the young child who he saved, Tenma's beliefs are shaken. Thriller / Psychological. Very long. The writing style is similar to that of Stephen King's work.
Berserk is easily the greatest manga ever written, and also has horror in it. It's been going on and off since 1989 with long-ass chapters. The art is grim and dark, with all the monsters getting some high detail. The main character is Guts, and he's the living embodiment of suffering. It's a fantasy setting inspired by the Dark Ages of Europe. I think you'll really like it.
You should read / watch all of these, of course. They're all great. They all have anime adaptations as well. You should create a MyAnimeList / MyMangaList if you plan on getting invested as it would help me make more personalized recommendations. Hope this helps a bit!

MaRo said they don't put reminder text on mythics.
But yeah, I don't believe them either. At the same time, I need some colorless basics for Ulamog EDH.

English editions have flipped pages for some reason. ComicsOne was a terrible translation and terrible distributor. Almost no other distributor does this, but they own the rights to his works. You'll have to read a scanlation if you want consistency. You won't find that on awful for-profit kiss.
