Some of the most spine-chilling stories of all time have left an indelible mark on the world of literature and horror. From Bram Stoker's "Dracula," which introduced the iconic vampire Count Dracula and established enduring vampire lore, to the psychological torment of Shirley Jackson's "The Haunting of Hill House," these stories have gripped readers with fear and fascination. Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart" continues to haunt readers with its unreliable narrator, while Stephen King's "The Shining" delves into the horrors of isolation and madness in a haunted hotel. These tales, among others, have contributed to the rich tapestry of horror literature, each with its own unique brand of spine-tingling terror.
