They often have a quick build - up of tension. Since they are short, they can't waste time. So they start creating an uneasy feeling almost immediately. For instance, a story might start with a character in a dark and isolated place right away. There's also the use of sudden twists. A story might seem to be going one way, and then suddenly, there's a completely unexpected and terrifying turn of events.

One common element is the sense of isolation. For example, like the girl alone at home in the first story. Another is the unknown or the mysterious. The figure in the cemetery was very mysterious. And often there is a sense of something being not right in a familiar place, like the attic in the third story.

Most scary horror short stories often have a sense of the unknown. They leave a lot to the imagination. For example, in 'The Tell - Tale Heart', the narrator's madness is not fully explained, and the reader is left to wonder what really drove him to such extremes. Another characteristic is a build - up of suspense. In 'The Monkey's Paw', the wishes are made one by one, and with each wish, the tension rises as the characters don't know what horror will befall them next.

Isolation is a common theme. For example, in 'The Yellow Wallpaper', the woman is isolated in a room and that isolation drives her to madness. Another theme is the supernatural. In 'The Monkey's Paw', the cursed monkey's paw with its ability to grant wishes in a twisted way represents the supernatural. Revenge can also be a theme, like in 'The Tell - Tale Heart' where the guilt of the murder seems like a form of revenge as the killer is haunted by the victim's heartbeat.
