Another great entry into the creepy, atmospheric speculative short genre is Bradbury's There Will Come Soft Rains, a guided tour through a retro futurist suburban community.

This russian animated version of that story pops up on my youtube every now and then.

I can't find it online, but "The Wind" is one of my favorite creepy short stories of R.B.'s. Just a guy talking on the phone with his friend who's maybe going nuts/maybe getting stalked by the wind for some reason.
Most of his anthology October Country is pretty good actually.

This one is maybe a bit Steven King-derivative but I found it plenty creepy:

The ending is just a chefs kiss of an awful gutpunch. The poor bastard doesn't have it in him to hope for rescue or anything like that. Just that it's not the worst one of these ghouls that's coming to get him.
