Sure. 'The Yellow Wallpaper' by Charlotte Perkins Gilman has elements of horror with a sense of a monster - like presence in the form of the wallpaper that drives the protagonist mad. Another one is 'The Monkey's Paw' by W.W. Jacobs, where the paw is like a cursed object that brings horror and unexpected, monstrous consequences. And 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe, the narrator's own insanity can be seen as a kind of internal monster.

There's 'The Veldt' by Ray Bradbury. It's about children who create a virtual African veldt in their high - tech nursery, but it turns into a place full of dangerous, almost monster - like lions. Then there is 'The Call of Cthulhu' by H.P. Lovecraft. Cthulhu is a terrifying, otherworldly monster, and this short story delves deep into the horror of the unknown and the power of this ancient and malevolent being.

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!
