Ive been reading some of Ambrose Bierce's horror stories, the plots of most of them are run-of-the-mill, but Bierce's style makes them very effective. I especially liked Chickamauga, one of the most realistic gruesome stories I have ever read. Another one that left me with a strange creepy feeling was Conan Doyle's The Leather Funnel.

Recently finished The Last Man by Mary Shelley. It suffered greatly from under editing.

I've been wanting to read that for a long time. Besides the editing, is it worth my time?

@The Villain

It certainly had its good qualities. To my experience, Mary Shelley lacks subtlety but the points she makes are good ones, if over stated, and there is a certain poetry to her writing. I would say it is worth a read, particularly if the subject material is something you're interested in, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you are committed to it.
