Can you recommend some scary short stories?

Sure. One of the scariest ones could be 'The Haunted House' in it. It's about a family who moves into an old, dilapidated house and starts experiencing strange noises and apparitions at night.

One scary short story could be 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. It's about a man who kills an old man because he can't stand the old man's 'evil eye'. After hiding the body under the floorboards, he starts to hear the old man's heart still beating, which drives him insane. Another is 'The Monkey's Paw'. A family gets a magical monkey paw that can grant wishes, but every wish comes with a horrible price. For example, they wish for money and their son dies at work so they get a compensation payment.

Sure. One short scary story could be 'The Haunted Mirror'. A girl bought an old mirror at a flea market. Every time she looked into it, she saw a strange figure behind her that wasn't there in real life. Eventually, she couldn't take it anymore and smashed the mirror, only to find the figure was now standing right in front of her.
