OUTSIDE OVER THERE (1981) by Maurice Sendak. The most disturbing children's picture book ever? A cautionary tale of inattentive babysitting & an obvious influence on the Jim Henson film Labyrinth. Beware the ice, ice baby!

THE DARK SIDE by Guy De Maupassant. Bookended by 2 of the most unsettling short stories ever written ('The Horla' & 'Who Knows?') this collection of haunted, cynical tales also appears to foreshadow the author's real life descent into madness.

THE GHOST STORY OF YOTSUYA (1959). Must be funny, in a rich man's world? Not if you are haunted by the disfigured corpse of the wife you murdered to get your hands on that money. Spooky samurai tale of a vengeful ghost.
