    Besides what Randy D said (which pretty much sums it all), for me:

    "The Sundial" by Shirley Jackson

    Flannery O'Connor stories

    "A Small Good Thing" by Raymond Carver     
    (I've read two versions of the story, both of them by Carver; one of them is better for me)

    Yes. For sure.
    Why I hadn't thought of the film, I don't know.

    'Ben' - Duane Jones


    No other movie has more aroused or engaged me.
