One notable story could be 'The Lottery'. It's a very famous one. It shows a disturbing small - town tradition in a very matter - of - fact way that really makes the reader think about the power of tradition and how it can be blindly followed.
Well, 'The Haunting of Hill House' is also in there. It's a great story about a haunted house. It's not just about the scares though. It dives deep into the psyches of the characters who are exploring the house. Their own fears and insecurities play a big part in what they experience in the supposedly haunted place.
