2. The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar by Roald Dahl<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n- A lot of people have different opinions on Atwood, but I think her short stories are her best works, the one I\u2019ve recommended doesn\u2019t get as much attention as some others.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
5. The Mysterious Mansion<\/a> by Honor\u00e9 de Balzac <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Horror](\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2020\/11\/IMG_4324-1-300x300.jpg\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n- A lovely little story about an abandoned mansion. Some qualify this as horror, but it\u2019s more the \u2018tragic\u2019 kind rather than the \u2018scary.\u2019<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
6. The Vinyl Caf\u00e9<\/a> by Stuart McLean <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
