anger bitter old poisoned revenge salt secret short story

These are few of the short stories that I would describe as thriller/horror.  House Sitters is about a couple who respond to an to house sit in upstate NY.  Once alone, they realize the house has a secret of its own that will destroy them if it's released.

Vengeance is Mine is a story whose influence I trace to some of the descriptive used by Dickens in A Tale of Two Cities.  Here, a man who cannot release his ex has plotted the most bitter type of revenge.

A Glass to Die For is the story of an old man who plans on living the good life after poisoning his wife.  He thinks he's planned for everything, but has he?
