The Haunting of Hill House (1959) - Shirley Jackson
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde* (1886) - Robert Louis Stevenson
Burnt Offerings (1973) - Robert Marasco
"Casting the Runes" (1911) - M.R. James
"The Two Bottles Of Relish" (1932) - Lord Dunsany
"The Great God Pan" (1894) - Arthur Machen
"The Upper Berth" (1894) - F. Marion Crawford
"The Colour Out of Space" (1927) - H.P. Lovecraft
