Dead Old Ladies with Flowers

One word: Creep-y.  This Emily girl is totally wacky.  Unfortunately, someone ruined the twist at the end of this ghost story, but after reading it I feel like it still had the same effect.  Written by William Faulkner, A Rose for Emily is still creepy as it ever would be.  The author serves some significance to the plot, because apparently Faulkner enjoyed writing stories about old southerners who had fell out of touch with modern living and a new generation; this is essentially what happened to Ms. Emily Grierson.  Her house was the only one left of its kind, old, gothic, and a constant reminder of the era in which Emily grew up.  She is constantly isolated while living alone in her house, besides the negro servant, and after ending her painting lessons, completely cut off from her town and community.  I personally didn't really like the story.  It was too much like a scary movie, and I don't like scary movies.
