This 178KB short piece was my first introduction to author Jeff Chapman and I must say I was impressed by his skillful descriptions and good character development.  I intend to find more by this talented writer and suggest that whoever reads this do the same!This tells the tale of two cousins, an unusual treasure hunt, and a very haunted house that takes a place in the story as a character in itself!  I hesitate to explain too much, but this story is very well told and has many surprises for the reader which are unveiled by degrees and you really have your doubts about the reliability of either of the cousins.I would highly recommend this book to any reader that would enjoy a well constructed story reminiscent of Poe or other classical horror writers that depended upon atmosphere and good characterization rather than gory action to make their story honestly scary!
