Well you can expend first to other Neil Gaiman novels. But yes, doesn't strike me too as horror, a lot less than his comics Sandman and Books of Magick (which are still readable if you don't like too gory).

Anyway, supposing that you'd like dark story without too much gore, you can either go back to the basics : Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Bram Stocker's Dracula or Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla.
Or have a look at some of the "vampire", "werewolfs" current stories : Bitten, Chealsea Quinn Yarbro, some Anne Rice's Chronicles.

Peter Straub and Stephen King's Talisman or Clive Barker's Galileo (not as bloddy as some of his previous works) could be good too.
