I've just spent quite a while searching for this book for you. Although I don't think I've found anything quite like it, I'm so interested in this book that I just want to comment so I will also get notifications if somebody else responds.
During my search, I did happen upon an author called Laird Barron, who writes some really interesting horror books by the looks of it. He is prolific and I wondered if he could have possibly been the author of the novella you are looking for. https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Ordinary Horror by David Searcy maybe?
