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.

Never heard of 2 or 3. Be interesting to know if anyone likes them.

I started my collection with books from this series.
http://www.wordsworth-editions.com/c...&-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.
