Being that it's near Halloween, can /lit/ recommend to me some of its favorite horror short stories/novels?

Always had a deep seated love for lovecraft, only fitting this halloween i finish off his last stories

I don't do the gothic horror genre too much. You might stop over and see what the /x/philes think if a /lit/izen can't be too helpful.

You may enjoy some of Josef K's short creepy stuff though.

Something Wicked This Way Comes is a good Halloween-read. Even if it's not all that scary.

I'm not sure why he gets any of the praise people give him. He just blathers on about death and madness using a shitload of masturbatory symbolism. Comes of as a tryhard teenager trying to be grimdark and edgy.

Lovecraft: The reanimator, Dreams in the witches house, and Shadows over Innsmouth.
