The dead isn't that much of a short story, it needs to be read with the rest of the stories of Dubliners

Edgar Allan Poe's stuff.

The Premature Burial
The Masque of the Red Death
The Telltale Heart
The Black Cat
A Cask of Amontillado
The Pit and the Pendulum
Never Bet the Devil Your Head

These are some of the ones I really liked.
