Horror stories for 11 year old

My 11 year old is a reluctant reader but has to read 20 minutes every night am for school. This is becoming a bit of a battle ground so was thinking of getting her some books that might be more to her taste than the ones she is bringing home from school.

She loves Stranger Things and The Quiet Place which are full of jumps but not too scary. I was thinking a horror story pitched at her age group may be suitable if anyone has any recommendations?

I like the idea of the short stories too as she may give up if it's a longer book. This drives me mad as I love to read. This thread has brought back memories of going to the library to get the latest point horrors and swapping them with friends.

Stranger with my face by Lois Duncan. I was utterly gripped as a child. Just looked and it's a 13 plus recommended age so I think I would pre read and see if she would be ready for it.

I used to love Christopher Pike's horror stories at that age.
