Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Except for the survivors, if there are any, that is, does anyone really know what goes on behind closed doors? If a house could speak, what ghastly tales could it tell?Of course, there's always a slight possibility that there is that one person, still living, who will speak for it. It's 1956 and Samuel Hassel is old and bored and ready to kick the bucket. So, when a couple of curious teenage boys ask him a simple question, he grabs at the opportunity to start talking. There's a house, on Ludington Street, which was built in the early 1900s. Samuel helped build that house, and now, after all these years, he has an audience and he is ready to tell its story.As the two teenagers sit by his side, Samuel recounts the stories of the families who lived and died in that house from 1906 to the present day. A house that was surely cursed from the day the foundation was laid. (1906)Von Schmidt reached for the gun and aimed it at the terrified school teacher's knee. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, the stone mason yelled. "It was me. For God's sake, don't shoot him." Von Schmidt turned the gun away from Flannagan and pointed it at the mason. "You did this? You violated this woman? You confess that it was you?"(1921) "I ran to help him. He was just lying there. There was blood everywhere. I asked him what had happened and he whispered that it was the ghost. He said the ghost had grabbed one of his swords and plunged it into his chest."
