The story manages to pull of some genuinely good scares and delivers an engaging plot despite the short page count. A well executed take on the otherwise tired haunted house trope that doesn&#8217;t overstay it&#8217;s welcome. This story would be a great introduction for new readers to Jon Cohn&#8217;s work.<\/p>\n<h4>Quote<\/h4>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Houses always made sounds at night, especially when they\u2019re still settling in from new owners.
