I really like The Collapse of the House of Osher and The Mask of the Red Death. If you also like Gothic novels, then you must not miss Edgar Allan Poe's works.
I feel that as a pioneer of thrillers and mystery novels, the author's own experience is quite legendary. I feel like some of the novels also have a bit of autobiography. It creates the world's first detective novel that is close to the modern sense. I feel that Sherlock Holmes has learned a lot from the protagonist's model and highly sublimated it. In fact, many of the thriller stories in it are relatively ancient and not too scary in modern terms. In terms of emotional fluctuations, I personally feel that the cover is not pretentious. It is suitable for people who like to explore and are more tolerant. It can be regarded as a pioneer of the era in terms of fun and plot twists, but it is not "heavy taste" today.
