One such story is 'The Button-Eyed Girl'. In this story, a girl finds a strange doll with button eyes in an old attic.

Fear of the unknown, like in 'The Yellow Wallpaper' where the woman is slowly losing her mind and we don't fully understand what's in the wallpaper. Also, they can be a form of escapism. Instead of dealing with our normal, mundane lives, we enter a world full of horror and mystery. And the vivid descriptions in these stories, such as in 'The Monkey's Paw', make the horror seem so real.

It's a way of confronting our deepest fears without actually being in real danger.
