"Far Below," by Robert Barbour Johnson. I've always liked pulp writing and stories from the 1930's. This is a good one.

Off the top of my head some of my favorites are...
"Who Goes There" by John W. Campbell (later filmed as The Thing From Another World and John Carpenter's The Thing)
"The Night Flier", "You Know They Got A Hell Of A Band", "The Jaunt" and "1408" - Stephen King
"An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge" - Ambrose Bierce
"The Small Assassin" - Ray Bradbury

Re: Favorite Short Horror Story
"Hop-Frog" by Poe is one of my favorites. It's short and has a fierce ending.

Re: Favorite Short Horror Story
Stephen King can definitely turn out a well crafted short. I have almost all of his books of short stories, although I haven't managed to read "If It Bleeds" yet. "Mrs. Todd's Shortcut" comes to mind.
I have also enjoyed "Fat Farm" by Orson Scott Card, which I think I first read in OMNI. I think that one is available online somewhere.
