The Case of the Haunted Horrors (2012)
“The boy heard a key being turned in the lock and then the sound of the man’s footsteps clumping across the bare boards of the landing and down the stairs. He hurled himself at the door and hammered on it with his fists, shouting at the top of his voice, “Lemme out! Lemme out!” But the footsteps carried on until another door closed at the foot of the stairs, and then there was silence.
The room seemed to be in the attic of a tall, old house. It was dingy, dusty and dim – the only light seeped in... through a small skylight in the ceiling, with glass so grimy it was impossible to tell if the sky above was blue or grey. The only furniture was a single iron bedstead, a rickety wooden chair and a cheap chest of drawers with three legs and a couple of books propping it up where the fourth leg should have been. A large tin trunk sat in one corner of the room, battered and dented from years of use and plastered with old shipping labels.
