Cuori strappati

Cuori spezzati fu pubblicato per la prima volta in Italia da Dino Buzzati nella sua celebre antologia Pesanervi. Cuori spezzati è una storia di fantasmi terrificante che racconta di Stephen Elliott, un giovane orfano mandato a vivere da un vecchio cugino in una casa sperduta in camppagna. Suo cugino è un alchemista ossessionato dalla ricerca dell’immortalità. Stephen è perseguitato dalla visione di una giovane ragazza zinara e un giovane ragazzo italiano a cui manca il cuore. La storia è stata adattata per la televisione dalla ABC come episodio della serie "Mistery and Imagination" nel 1966. Successivamente è stato adattato da Robin Chapman nel 1973 come parte della serie della BBC A ghost story for Christmas.

Montague Rhodes James è stato uno scrittore, storico e medievista britannico, noto studioso di paleografia e archeologia, bibliofilo e antiquario, ricordato oggi per i suoi racconti vittoriani di fantasmi. James fin dall'infanzia sviluppò una forte passione per le antichità, in particolare per il mondo medievale, per i manoscritti e i libri antichi. Successivamente iniziò i corsi ad Eton per poi iscriversi al King's College di Cambridge; qui divenne assistente di archeologia classica al museo Fitzwilliam. Sempre nel King's College guadagnò un importante incarico grazie alla sua opera L'Apocalisse di S. Pietro, inerente alla storia del cristianesimo. Intrapreso il cursus honorum nel suo college, M. R. James raggiunse l'apice della sua carriera nel 1905 quando ne divenne rettore.
