Dracula, by Bram Stoker, and Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley.
Both classics, and both excellent stories

Depends I guess. What kind of non-classic books do you read? If you read mostly romance the way to go might be a classic romance by Austen or Bronte. If you’re into mysteries it might be Conan Doyle. Fantasy Tolkien of course, but maybe something that’s just a bit supernatural like The Picture of Dorian Gray or something. If you like a bit more realism maybe try To Kill a Mockingbird etc. Classics isn’t really a genre the way say mysteries are it’s just the books that had staying power.
