There's 'The Lottery' by Shirley Jackson. It starts as a normal village lottery but turns out to be a very dark and disturbing ritual. Also, 'The Cask of Amontillado' by Poe. In this story, a man takes revenge on his so - called friend by walling him up alive in a cellar. And then there's 'Lamb to the Slaughter' where a woman kills her husband with a frozen leg of lamb and then cleverly gets away with it in a rather creepy way.
Sure. One classic is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. It's about a narrator who is haunted by the old man's vulture - like eye and eventually murders him. Another is 'The Monkey's Paw' which has a mysterious paw that grants wishes with terrible consequences. And 'The Yellow Wallpaper' is also quite scary, where a woman slowly descends into madness in a room with strange wallpaper.
I like 'The Most Dangerous Game' as a scary short story. A man is hunted like an animal on an island. 'The Black Cat' by Poe is also good. The narrator's increasing madness and his actions towards his cat are really spooky. And 'An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge' which plays with the idea of time and death in a very chilling way.
