There's 'The Masque of the Red Death' by Edgar Allan Poe. It describes a party during a plague, and the arrival of a mysterious figure representing death. It's filled with a sense of impending doom. Additionally, 'The Black Cat' also by Poe is a good choice. The narrator's actions towards his pet cat lead to a series of increasingly terrifying events.

Sure. 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe is a great one. It's about a man's descent into madness as he is haunted by the sound of his victim's heartbeat. Another is 'The Monkey's Paw' which has a very eerie and unexpected ending. The wishes made upon the paw bring only horror.

But Tang Yu, it’s you who has issues!” The man put down the newspaper and agreed to what his young wife was saying, “Why would they write false information? Your zodiac is the pig!” “Tang! Yu!” She stomped her feet out of anger. The man grinned, “So what we have no kids? You are my little baby.” Pei Qiqi thought, how did this scene change so fast!
