I recommend you to take a look at Shen You Shu. This book is a romantic youth-youth campus novel. It contains a two-way secret love story and an April Fool's Day drama about a confirmed relationship. Also, if you want to read a collection of short stories, I strongly recommend Haunted House Talks. Every story in it is extremely scary. I hope you like my recommendation, Mwah ~π

One great collection is 'The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe'. His works are filled with dark and mysterious stories, like 'The Fall of the House of Usher' which has a gloomy atmosphere and a sense of impending doom. Another is 'Roald Dahl's Book of Ghost Stories'. Dahl, known for his children's books, also created some rather dark short stories in this collection that will send shivers down your spine.
There is 'Anton Chekhov's Short Stories'. Chekhov was a master of the short story form. His stories usually focus on the ordinary lives of people, revealing their hopes, dreams, and disappointments. His writing is very realistic and often makes readers think about human nature.
