Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Kate Chopin has an interesting collection of short stories (all have themes of Feminism), and you can easily find them with a quick search on Google!.

Virginia Woolf's "Lady in the Looking Glass" (http://www!.english!.upenn!.edu/~jenglish/E!.!.!. was very interesting as well!.

For a darker route:

Edgar Allen Poe's short stories (especially "The Tell-Tale Heart") is perfect for that Gothic horror element!. He also has a ton of other short stories which you can check out with a Google search!.

For a modernist-era horror story, you can look at W!.W!. Jacobs's "The Monkey's Paw" (http://gaslight!.mtroyal!.ca/mnkyspaw!.htm)!.!.!.

And, though it's a poem, it's long enough to be able to draw out a few episodes from: http://charon!.sfsu!.edu/TENNYSON/TENNLADY!.!.!.
It's a beautiful poem with a ton of things to find in a literary sense!. It's also been made into a song, though they cut a few stanzas out!.
