I'd recommend:
The Body Snatchers, Jack Finney
Frankenstein: or, The Modern Prometheus, Mary Shelly
Dracula, Bram Stoker

Some novellas & short stories:
Who Goes There?, 168 pages, John W. Campbell, Jr.
The Lottery, 30 pages, Shirley Jackson
The Tell-Tale Heart, 25 pages, Edgar Allan Poe (and take your pick of others The Murders in the Rue Morgue, Fall of the House of Usher, The Pit and the Pendulum, etc)

Thank you for posting an alternative perspective. Really excellent choices. I was thinking about including The Hellbound Heart.

What do you think?
