My daughter informed me I should read Pan's Garden and Wendigo by Algernon Blackwood and The Great God Pan by Arthur Machen. How were these stories?

Iconic. Extremely relevant to the development of horror fiction as we know it.

And of cource The Doll.

@Neverending - was the Blackwood story you were trying to remember The Willows? That is my favorite from him.

Possibly- about a man who keeps feeling the call of the trees that surround the house he lives in.

I definitely need to get more classic horror. I have Poe, Lovecraft, Shirley Jackson and Ray Bradbury. I have Dracula, Frankenstein, and Turn Of The Screw. I will put Algernon Blackwood on my Amazon Wish List. What other great classic (pre-Stephen King) horror stories would you recommend?

P.S. Murderland is going on my Wish List too.;)
