King's quotable "mentor", Edgar Allan Poe:
"By undue profundity we perplex and enfeeble thought; and it is possible to make even Venus herself vanish from the firmanent by a scrutiny too sustained, too concentrated, or too direct." -The Murders in the Rue Morgue
"I have, indeed, no abhorrence of danger, except in its absolute effect - in terror." -The Fall of the House of Usher
"Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before;" -The Raven
"Down-certainly, relentlessly down! It vibrated within three inches...! I struggled violently - furiously - to free my left arm..." - The Pit and the Pendulum
"I knew what he wished to make me understand. With the wind that now drove us on, we were bound for the whirl of the Strom, and nothing could save us!" -A Decent into the Maelstrom.
"Yet the sound increased - and what could I do? It was a low, dull, quick sound - much such a sound as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton. ....I paced the floor... oh God, what could I do? I foamed, I raved, I swore....I could bear the hypocritical smiles no longer! Louder! Louder!..."Villains!" I shrieked, "dissemble no more! I admit the deed! - tear up the planks - here, here!! it is the besting of the hideous heart!" -The Tell-Tale Heart
"...and yet all this might have been endured, if not approved, by the mad revellers around. But the mummer had gone so far as to assume the type of the Red Death, His vesture was dabble in blood -and his brow broad - with all the features of the face besprinkled with the Scarlet Horror." - The Masque of the Red Death
If these short stories didn't get you side-eying something, then you're dead to the world. That is all.
