Why is a raven like a writing desk? - Lewis Carroll
A late-night frisson to keep you awake in the dark...
The Tell-Tale Heart - Edgar Allan Poe
Narrated by James Mason
Gorgeous 1953 animation, and the narration by Mason is perfect. Poe has always freaked me out more than pretty much any other suspense/terror writer.

I love Poe.
Another American writer I love and who wrote fantastic and eery short-stories is Ambrose Bierce. "The Boarded Window" always makes me shudder.

It would give one hell of an animated short film!
