Shorter works tend to bother me more than novels, it seems. The Black Cat by Poe creeped me out pretty good, and remains one of my favorite stories. The Shadow Over Innsmouth by Lovecraft scarred me for life and that is a fairly recent read ...LOL...I can't even tell you why that story freaked me out so much, but there it is.

it's amazing how the magic of words on a page can conjure up the same emotion that a darn good horror movie can do!
After all, the likes of Poe were writing to awaken our imaginations long before movies gave it to us in ya face :D
