As Doc mentioned- Le Fanu (Carmilla and other stories)
Robert Louis Stevenson (Dr. Jeckyl & Mr. Hyde)
Oscar Wilde (Dorian Gray and other stories)

I have Oscar Wilde, but not the others. Thank You.

Are Ambrose Bierce or Saki worth reading?

Absolutely!

Though it's not horror, Bierce's Devil's Dictionary is indispensable.

I always thought The King In Yellow was a Lovecraft creation. I'd love to read the original story. Thank you.

Try to give Le Fanu a go. My copy of his short stories is well read.
Can I also reccommend The Yellow wallpaper, by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. (it is actually a collection of short stories) Not so much gory as a description of the downward spiral into madness. Wonderfully gothic x

Picked up The Devil's Dictionary (my daughter told me to get it about 5 minutes before you did). FANTASTIC!! Thank you for recommending it.
