Edgar Allen Poe - The Telltale Heart

I love Edgar Allan Poe's stories... my favorites ones are 'The Tell-Tale Heart', 'The Cask of Amontillado', 'The Masque of the Red Death', and 'The Pit and the Pendulum'.

The Lottery by Shirley Jackson

"Surviver Type" from Stephen King is my fav short story.
-
Silent Snow, Secret Snow....takes you into the mind of a person going insane and how normal he appears on the outside. Written with amazing sensitivity to the character.

Heh, I've wrote a few of those. I doubt most people would find them as funny as I do, however. I have a severely f'd up sense of humor. Here's one I recently made on a blog of mine, titled Floppy the Psychotic Bunny: http://reapz.blogspot.com/2009/06/floppy-psychotic-bunny.html

The lions.

The Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allen Poe. I didn't like it. Brilliantly written, yes, but so disturbing.... Oh, and Hopscotch, too. That story made me squirm. (Poe again. He never fails)

Bloody Mary.

This isnt demented, so I apologize. It is political (please dont hate me :) But I found it so funny when a friend forwarded it to me. I just think it is beyond brilliant in its satire: http://www.rkdelka.com/short_stories/im_the_constitution_dammit.asp

Damon Knight's "To Serve Man". It has some ETs coming to Earth and helping humans in many ways. One scientists finds a book owned by an ET whose title he translates as "How To Serve Man". He translates the entire book and realizes it is a cookbook.
