Rosemary's Baby is a fine read. A modern horror classic.
I don't know the others

Turn of the Screw is another classic. A fine addition to your horror library.

I started my collection with books from this series.
http://www.wordsworth-editions.com/collection/mystery-&-supernatural
They got Lovecraft, Poe and a bunch of others.
On the site they're all 2,99 pounds. I only payed a little more in my local store.
With a bit of luck it's the same deal in your country.

The Bloofer Lady

I have read Rosemary's Baby many years ago. It was one of the first books of horror I read. I know I enjoyed it but now have memories of it tangled up with the movie.
I am completely enchanted with Dracula. I re read it constantly like other people perhaps read the Bible. I can start at any page and am immediately immersed. That's where my name The Bloofer Lady comes from.

My fav out of the list provided would have to be Rosemary's Baby. A classic horror novel right there and an even better movie.
