Horror
Classic horror works by patience — a wrong door, a letter that shouldn't exist, a house that keeps its own hours. These summaries trace each story's dread from first omen to last reveal, without spoiling the pleasure of the originals or softening their endings. Read them by all means at midnight; that is what they were written for.
