These last couple of pages are depressing. King, Poe, and Lovecraft all need to be devoured before you die.

Start here:

King - Salem's Lot
Poe - The Tell-Tale Heart
Lovecraft - The Colour out of Space

Actually all things considered my high school was pretty decent, just that one class. AP English my junior year was awesome.

I'm so glad I read that on my own and not through school. I read almost (maybe everything) she published.

I literally don't think we read anything longer than a short story during my entire time at school. American public schools + the South = retard factory

I read Hamlet, Turn of the Screw, Things Fall Apart (I was literally the only person in my class who saw the greatness), Catch-22, and A Clockwork Orange in high school, some of my favourite books.

Read Hamlet on my own when I was 11ish, just because there was a copy lying around. Catch-22 and A Clockwork Orange are faves too. I'm (pleasantly) surprised a school would assign the latter.
