Sure. One of the scariest could be 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. It's about a man who is driven mad by the old man's 'evil eye' and ends up murdering him. Another might be 'The Lottery' by Shirley Jackson. It has a disturbing ending where a seemingly normal town has a very cruel lottery system. And 'The Yellow Wallpaper' by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is also quite scary as it shows the descent into madness of a woman trapped in a room.

Among the 15 scariest short stories, 'Carmilla' is a classic vampire story that predates Dracula and is filled with a sense of dread. Then there's 'The Black Cat' by Edgar Allan Poe. It tells the story of a man's downfall, influenced by his superstitions and his relationship with a black cat. 'The Cone' by H. G. Wells is also a rather disturbing short story with a shocking act of violence and a sense of moral decay.

Well, 'The Monkey's Paw' is often considered very scary among such short stories. It's about a magical paw that grants wishes but with horrible consequences. Also, 'The Masque of the Red Death' by Edgar Allan Poe is terrifying. The Red Death is a plague - like entity that infiltrates a prince's luxurious abbey where he's trying to escape the plague outside. 'August Heat' is another one, with a strange and spooky encounter that seems to be fate - driven.

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!

For a beginner, I'd recommend 'Roald Dahl's Book of Ghost Stories'. Dahl is known for his children's books, but these ghost stories have a different edge. They are spooky enough to give you a taste of horror without being overly terrifying. They are well - written and often have unexpected twists that will keep you on your toes.
