The Fall of the House of Usher not only improves the original story, but beings many of Poe's works to life in a cohesive, beautiful way.

I'm also much more a fan of Flanagan's Haunting of Hill House than Shirley Jackson's, but I understand that's a controversial opinion about a widely loved book.
