There's 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. The narrator's obsession with an old man's 'vulture - like' eye and his meticulous plan to kill the old man is quite disturbing. And then there's the guilt that haunts him, represented by the sound of the old man's still - beating heart that he imagines he hears. It's a classic and very creepy horror story.
One example could be 'The Yellow Wallpaper' by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. It's a story about a woman who is slowly driven mad by the yellow wallpaper in her room. The way the wallpaper seems to take on a life of its own and the woman's descent into insanity is really creepy.

The psychological torment and the narrator's unreliable mind make it truly creepy.
The Haunted House. There was an old, dilapidated house on the outskirts of town. It was said that a family had been brutally murdered there decades ago.

Strange noises echoed, like the wails of the long - dead. The door slammed shut behind them, trapping them. In the attic, they saw a figure in the shadows, its eyes glowing red. They tried to run, but the stairs seemed to stretch endlessly. The figure got closer, whispering their names in a bone - chilling voice. Then, suddenly, they woke up outside the house, as if it had all been a nightmare, but the scratches on their arms told a different story.

Sure. One possible 'dkim horror story' could be when a small business owner changes their hosting provider. In the process, the DKIM settings get messed up. The new hosting provider doesn't properly migrate or configure the DKIM keys. As a result, all the emails sent from the business domain start going to spam folders of their customers. The business owner has no idea why their emails are not being received as they used to be, and they start losing potential customers because of the lack of communication.
One possible example from a 'gerryymandering horror story' could be in a city where there are different ethnic and political groups. The party in power decides to gerrymander the districts. They create a district that looks like a long, thin strip that cuts through different areas. This way, they can group together their supporters in some areas and split up the opposing party's supporters. As a result, the voices of the people in the split - up areas are not as effectively represented. Their concerns might be ignored because the district lines were drawn not for fair representation but for political advantage. This can lead to a sense of disenfranchisement among the voters in those areas.
