User blog comment:Ameagle/Most Unique Horror Story You've Ever Read?/@comment-26112985-20150722063242

In terms of classic literature, Poe has provided us with many a good tale, not only in his poems (My all time favorite poem is The Raven) but also in his short stories. The ones I consider to be superior would definitely include The Masque of Red Death and Fall of the House of Usher, both of which can be found in this book.

As for King, I am more a fan of his earleir works. The Shining, which I have heard to be unfairly mocked by many, is an amazing book (for me) which King actually got the idea from himself (or, from a nightmare he had about his son being chased by a fire hose, to be more exact). Other good King works include Pet Sematary, which is absolutely terrifying, and did a good job of frightening even me, and Carrie , a short but sweet little shocker. Also, you should read The Green Mile, even if it isn't a horror story, simply because it is a masterpeice.

Unique stories can be hard to find on this wikia, but if you must, I reccomend Funnymouth, The Pastel Man and The Sandman.
