As I have previously mentioned, I have been spending quite some time reading horror fiction, and it's time to unveil the 5 best horror stories I have read so far. It's merely my opinion, so if you don't really like them after wasting 15 - 30 minutes in reading each one, my apologies in advance:
- The Night Wire by H. F. Arnold
- The Horla by Guy de Maupassant (Malaysians: Yes, it was the guy who wrote "The Necklace" )
- The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
- O Come Little Children by Chet Williamson (the story is under copyright)
- The Pedicab by Donald R. Burleson (under copyright)
Other notable reads:
- The Ghost and the Bone Setter by Joseph Sheridan le Fanu
- Shadows Cast Behind by Otto E. A. Schmidt (under copyright)
- The Grey Room by Stefan Grabinski (under copyright)
- The Terrible Old Man by H. P. Lovecraft
- The Raven (it's a long poem), The Premature Burial and The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe. "The Tell-Tale Heart" is one of sentimental value because I wrote a loose drama adaption of this story for my School Drama Team.
...and this is the greatest local horror story, and will be unrivalled for its brutality for quite some time.
