Creepy Short Stories

I read To Build A Fire by Jack London yesterday, and it was odd. I enjoyed the writing and the descriptions, but it was definitely not something I would pick for myself. My favorite character was the dog. I liked the dog's instincts. It was kind of creepy, though. It had a lot to do with death, and the main character's death, and that was part of what made it creepy. I liked the Tell Tale Heart better.

I also enjoyed writing my story with an unreliable narrator. It was so much fun - the one downside being that it was starting to give me goosebumps. I enjoy writing stories with unreliable narrators.
