The Shadow is a nice short work, with great atmosphere. To modern ears, there's nothing particularly shocking about it - it's even a bit cliche. But you have to put yourself into the context of Poe's time, where even educated people thought there might be a legitimate reason to believe in the supernatural.
This story is set during a plague, where the main characters are sitting at some kind of wake for a dead companion. During the night, they experience a glimpse of what life after death might entail.
