Can you recommend a good short horror story?
Sure. 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe is a great short horror story. It's about a narrator who is haunted by an old man's 'vulture - like' eye and his descent into madness as he plots to kill the old man. The story is filled with psychological tension and Poe's masterful use of description makes it truly chilling.
I like 'The Yellow Wallpaper' by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. It may not seem like a traditional horror story at first. The narrator, a woman, is confined to a room with yellow wallpaper as part of her 'rest cure'. As she spends more time in the room, she starts to hallucinate and see a woman trapped within the wallpaper. It's a story that delves into the horror of mental oppression and the breakdown of the psyche.

Every story was very scary, so it was best not to read it alone at night. " The Six-fingered Bride " was a mysterious story that revolved around the marriage of a young and beautiful woman and an ugly, poor man. It hid a murder case from many years ago, which was very interesting. I hope you like my recommendation.😗
