What are they? I tend to judge a good scary story by whether I physically shudder after finishing it. That's happened with a few authors, but mostly with H. P. Lovecraft, in particular works like "The Colour Out of Space", about a mysterious alien "colour" which hits Earth as a meteroite and is absorbed into a farmer's well, and "The Whisperer in Darkness", about an isolated scholar who makes contact with malevolent beings in the mountain forestry surrounding his home.
The closest I've got to that shudder recently was when I read Stephen King's novel Revival, about a revivalist preacher whose experiments with electricity and lightning bring him into contact with worlds beyond our own.
TV shows and films, too, if you've got an interesting story about one of those.
