Another long and spooky ghost story is 'The Haunting of Hill House' by Shirley Jackson. It tells the story of a group of people who stay in the supposedly haunted Hill House to study the paranormal. As they spend time there, they experience all kinds of terrifying phenomena. Strange noises, cold spots, and apparitions start to drive them crazy. The way Jackson describes the house as if it has a malevolent will of its own makes it a truly scary read.
The 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker can also be considered a long and very scary ghost - like story. It's about the vampire Count Dracula who travels from Transylvania to England. The way he preys on people, the mystery surrounding his powers, and the attempts to stop him create a spine - chilling atmosphere. Mina's transformation and the race against time to kill Dracula are some of the most terrifying aspects of this classic story.
