This looks like an interesting book:
Guidebook for an Armchair Pilgrimage (Englisch) Taschenbuch – 25. Juli 2019
von John Schott (Autor), Phil Smith (Autor), Tony Whitehead (Autor)
Pilgrimages—real and imagined—are always popular, sometimes compulsory. In the 15th century, Felix Fabri combined the two, using his visits to Jerusalem to write a handbook for nuns wanting to make a pilgrimage in the imagination, whilst confined to their religious houses.
For Guidebook for an Armchair Pilgrimage, the authors followed Fabri’s example. First they walked together over many weeks, not to reach a destination but simply to find one. Then, in startling words and images, along lanes and around hills, into caves and down to the coast. Over the course of the 19-day Armchair Pilgrimage, they invite the reader to experience the world around them just as they did as they walked.

And I'm reading two quite OK collections of horror stories. As with all collections, some stories are phenomenally good ("The atlas of hell" by Nathan Ballingrud is great, I re-read it several times.) and others are "meh":
Wounds: Six Stories from the Border of Hell
