The story that I enjoyed most was "Lost Hearts". In September of 1811 a little boy called Stephen arrived at Aswarby Hall, where he went to live with his elder cousin Mr Abney. Mr Abney was very kind to him and Mrs Bunch (his servant) said only good about him. She said that he was especially kind with children and that he had taken years before one boy and a girl into his house to live, because those children didn' have a home. But the both of them disappeared or just left the house.
After that Stephen started to see strange dreams at night. One day Mr Abney asked him to come to his library at eleven o'clock. While there was a bit time, Stephen was in his room and was looking out of the window, when he suddenly heard strange cries and then he saw two children standing under a tree and looking towards to him. They both had a hole on the left sides of their chests. Then the children disappeared. Stephen went to Mr Abney's library, but he found him dead there with a large black hole on the left side of his chest. The book in front of him was open and there was written that Mr Abney had killed both of those children and had taken out their hearts in order to do magic. Stephen suppose to be the next one. But fortunately he was saved.
I liked the story because it was very catching and interesting from the beginning and it wasn't predictable. It wasn't hard to imagine all of this and scared me quite a lot. But I'm afraid that if I had read it at night I wouldn't have been able to fall asleep.
