They straightened and then I saw that they had locked their arms around the shoulders of a third. The two of them stooped and seemed to be fumbling around inside. He looked sharply up and down the deserted street, then threw the door wide open. As I did so an automobile drew up at the entrance to the hospital.Īs I stood, wondering what its arrival at that hour meant, a man slipped out of it. I paused for a moment at the top of the steps to look at the brilliancy of the stars. Ordinarily I would have been in bed and asleep, but there was a case in which I was much interested, and Braile, my assistant, had telephoned me of certain developments which I wished to observe. I heard the clock strike one as I walked up the hospital steps. Perhaps if you read it around a campfire alone at night, then you could feel a little nervous. A nice tale, which definitely sucked me in but did not leave me with anything to really think about.įor a free book - fantastic for literature - nothing here for a horror lover - ummm. Lastly, the story itself is where all the action, focus and attraction is. The characters are interesting but there is never any development of them not a problem per se, but again it does not deliver a full punch - rather a quick jab. The setting is mundane but there is never any real focus on it so it does not get in the way of the story. Ooohh I didn´t want this to stop.Couldn´t stop reading! If you are into witches,voodoo reads,this is for you with added *Chucky* dolls.Ī very nice read which keeps you on the edge but does not actually make you start to look over your shoulder.
