One is 'The Monkey's Paw' by W. W. Jacobs. It's a classic horror short story about a cursed monkey's paw that grants wishes but with terrifying consequences. Another is 'The Yellow Wallpaper' by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. It's a psychological horror story that delves into the mind of a woman going insane.

Richard Matheson's 'Prey' is a great horror short story. It's about a woman being haunted by a small, menacing doll. It creates a sense of unease and horror as the doll seems to have a mind of its own. And don't forget Ambrose Bierce's 'An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge', which has a surprising and somewhat horrifying ending.
