The horror fiction of Michael Chabon

[Professor Angell.]

I've been meaning to get in to Michael Chabon's fiction for a while now - a friend recommended "The Yiddish Policemen's Union" - but I never got around to reading it. However, as I just finished the fantastic anthology "The Weird" - I was very glad to find Chabon's short story "The God of Dark Laughter" was included - and I found it to be one of the many favorites I found in that volume.
So, naturally - I'm looking for more. I looked around, and very little of his fiction is classified as "horror", apart from "In the Black Mill", another short story.
Does anyone know anything about Chabon's darker side?

Chabon talks about how he came to write those stories, and about his interest in genre fiction generally, in this interview. There are some horror-related essays, notably one on M. R. James, in his collection Maps and Legends.

I don't think there's anything apart from those two stories that particularly qualifies as horror, though The Final Solution is a rather bleak story about an incredibly elderly Sherlock Holmes and the shadow of the Holocaust, and The Yiddish Policemen's Union has a lonely detective-story melancholy that, coupled with its alternate history elements, might make the book work for horror readers.

I read "The God of Dark Laughter" in Straub's American Fantastic Tales and dug it. Would enjoy reading more dark stuff from Chabon.
