One of my favorite collections of horror stories is Edogawa Rampo's Tales of Mystery and Imagination--some truly disturbing stories from the first great Japanese mystery writer. Ryunosuke Akutagawa is also excellent, although only a few of his stories are mysteries or horror in the traditional sense (if you've seen the film Rashamon, it's based on one of his tales).
I should add though, that no Rampo is available in ebook format in English. I think one volume of Akutagawa is.
