I read Lost Hearts, by MR James, for Short Story Sunday. Stephen is your average 11-year-old boy in England. He is excited about his new life with his uncle. But when strange things start happening, he is not so sure. First, he dreams about a strange figure upstairs, behind a locked door. Next, strange scratch-marks appear outside. Then Stephen learns about two children who met a nasty fate with his uncle, and now they want revenge...
This story is very well-written, and very scary! The author meant to put fear in your heart, and he definitely succeeded with me!

I think I've read some MR James in a short story collection that I have, but now I'm going to have to go look. This one sounds great!
