When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

One of the best is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. It's a chilling tale of a man's descent into madness as he is haunted by the sound of his victim's heart. Another great one is 'The Monkey's Paw' by W. W. Jacobs, which shows the consequences of interfering with fate through a cursed monkey's paw. 'Carmilla' by Sheridan Le Fanu is also notable, as it's an early example of vampire fiction.

Sure. 'The Monkey's Paw' is a good start. It has a simple yet engaging plot about wishes gone wrong. 'The Tell - Tale Heart' is also great as it's short and straightforward in its horror. The narrator's paranoia and guilt are very palpable.

They often have a sense of the unknown. For example, in 'The Monkey's Paw', the power of the paw is mysterious and the consequences of the wishes are unexpected. Another characteristic is the use of atmosphere. In 'The Tell - Tale Heart', Poe builds a tense atmosphere through the narrator's paranoia. Also, they usually have a quick - paced plot to keep the horror building. Like in 'The Cask of Amontillado', the events unfold rapidly as Fortunato is led deeper into the catacombs.

Well, 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe is a top - notch classic horror story. It's a short but intense tale of a man's descent into madness over an old man's 'evil eye'. Then there's 'The Cask of Amontillado' by Poe as well, a story filled with revenge and being walled up alive. 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' by Oscar Wilde also counts. It shows how a man's immoral actions are reflected in a portrait rather than his own face, which is quite spooky.
