Several immediately come to mind.

Short stories: The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories (Ken Liu); Stories of Your Life and Others and Exhalation (Ted Chiang); The Martian Chronicles (Ray Bradbury)

Novels: The Monk (Matthew Gregory Lewis); Frankenstein (Mary Shelley)

I read Frankenstein a few years back. it is an interesting book, years ahead of his time. But while the monster is quite a sympathetic character (apart fron the odd homicide) Frankenstein is such a drip.

Which edition of Frankenstein would you recommend, 1818 or 1831? (Gutenberg.org has both.)
