Can you recommend some scary monster short stories?

One short scary monster story is about a werewolf in a small village. Every full moon, the villagers would hear a howl. One night, a young girl was out late and saw a large, shadowy figure with glowing eyes. It chased her through the forest until she found a small, hidden cave to hide in. She stayed there until morning, shivering in fear.

Sure. 'The Wendigo' is a good one. It's about a terrifying creature in Native American folklore. There's also 'Carmilla' which is an early vampire story that is really spooky. And 'The Willows' by Algernon Blackwood, where the natural setting itself becomes a sort of menacing monster as the characters are menaced by the strange forces of the willow trees.

Sure. One short monster story could be about a little imp that lives in an old attic. It makes strange noises at night to scare the people in the house. Another could be a story of a sea monster that appears only during a full moon near a small fishing village, scaring the fishermen. And there's also a story of a forest monster that protects the ancient trees and terrifies any loggers who come too close.

Sure. 'The Monkey's Paw' is a great short monster story. It involves a magical paw that grants wishes but with terrifying consequences. Another one is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' where the narrator's insanity over a perceived 'monster' (the old man's eye) drives him to murder. And 'The Yellow Wallpaper' can also be considered in a sense, as the woman seems to be haunted by some sort of monster in her own mind as she descends into madness due to her confinement.

Sure. One of the scariest ones could be 'The Haunted House' in it. It's about a family who moves into an old, dilapidated house and starts experiencing strange noises and apparitions at night.

Sure. One short scary story could be 'The Haunted Mirror'. A girl bought an old mirror at a flea market. Every time she looked into it, she saw a strange figure behind her that wasn't there in real life. Eventually, she couldn't take it anymore and smashed the mirror, only to find the figure was now standing right in front of her.

One scary short story could be 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. It's about a man who kills an old man because he can't stand the old man's 'evil eye'. After hiding the body under the floorboards, he starts to hear the old man's heart still beating, which drives him insane. Another is 'The Monkey's Paw'. A family gets a magical monkey paw that can grant wishes, but every wish comes with a horrible price. For example, they wish for money and their son dies at work so they get a compensation payment.

Sure. 'The Russian Sleep Experiment' is quite terrifying. It tells about a group of test subjects who are kept awake for days in a military experiment, and they gradually turn into something inhumane. Then there's 'Smile Dog'. The picture of a dog with a wide, creepy smile is said to drive people insane if they look at it for too long.

Yes. 'The Yellow Wallpaper' is a good example of a scary short story. It tells the story of a woman who slowly descends into madness while being confined in a room with yellow wallpaper. In terms of scary fictions, Stephen King's works are great. For instance, 'Carrie' is a famous one. A bullied girl discovers she has telekinetic powers and uses them for revenge in a very bloody and scary way.

😋I don't recommend reading overly scary short stories, but if you really want to read them, the following books might satisfy your needs: Crafty House, The Ring, Dark Specter, Haunted House, and I'm About to Come Out. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
