Mariana Enríquez' short stories are good and very comfy. Her books have some misses, as always happens, but many stories are hits. I don't know if these count but Quiroga's The decapitated chicken and The feather pillow are both very good too. Here's a link for the last one: https://www.tintavivatranslation.com/project/portfolio-el-almohadon-de-pluma-horacio-quiroga-literary-fiction/

This sounds like Let's Go Play at the Adam's, which is super fucked up and nihilistic.

Also recommending Michael McDowell-The Elementals and Grady Hendrix - My Best Friend's Exorcism

The Halloween Tree by Bradbury is fun because you can read it in an afternoon and it's written like a campfire story. Personally I'd have to recommend The Tell Tale Heart or The Fall of the House Usher. I know Usher is the default Poe story, but it really is his most gothic and most vivid short story.
