Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

Classic Horror would be the first thing that would come to mind.

This story is the essence of most horror stories out there. Though, most think that Frankenstein is actually the monster, it was Victor Frankenstein, the father of the monster. The monster actually didn't have a name. Victor being as a genius as he is starts to create a monster from found and stolen body parts then he brings the creature to life. The monstrosity that he created begins to haunt him. Victor's brother was murdered by the monster. The monster eventually finds Victor, his father and pleas for him to create him a companion. Victor can't bear what he's creating and destroys her. The Monster, declares revenge on him. The monster strikes his revenge on his wife, and murders her. Then Victor vows to take down the monstrosity he's created and has been haunting him. Victor chases him through the north, very ill he dies. The monster weeps over the cold body of master, then decides it's his time to die too.

I never really read the full story before, didn't realize it was filled with so much more morbid points.
