Mercedes Yardley’s Pretty Little Dead Girls is one of many of her stories I’ve loved. No one will go wrong starting there ;)

Range of Ghosts was incredible. Great call on those.

I’d nominate The Bloodsounder’s Arc by Jeffrey Salyards and a new one in Dragonblood Assassin by Jaime Castle and Andy Peloquin.
