Kinda Embarrassing

So, I'm currently trying to avoid going over my American Dramas and Old English by putting together my reading list for the oral exam in May.
Now, I had a look at the reading list for my "Bachelor exams" and I had totally forgotten that "Our Town" and "The Hairy Ape" where on that list. So I've already done analyses and so one on those two. *embarrassing*
I've decided on (American) Gothic as my first main topic, 20th Century American Short Stories as the second, and poetry as the minor topic (but in what combination no idea yet)
Do any of you have interesting short stories, poems or even a gothic novel I can add??
