I don't know if it's cheating taking recommendations from an English Teacher, but here's a suggestion:

"The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson is a creepy short story that comes to mind. It's about a town that selects people in a lottery and then stones them to death. I'm sure there's some critique of modern society in there somewhere.
