Book Excerpt:
Snow pellets blow white across
the boulevard and up onto the wide, night-shadowed porch of the house just in
the center of the block. Inside, past leaded glass doors and heavy oak
furnishings, something moves.
Up the polished mahogany
staircase, and up yet another flight to the third story something moves that
has no breath, no warmth, no life.
There is a narrow passageway to
the attic, locked behind a heavy door with steel bands. The shadow pauses at
the door only long enough to pass cold fingers over the padlock. It falls
heavily to the floor and the door opens. The shadow passes through, as quietly
as a midnight
breeze in an icy cold forest. Here, no light at all warms the creaking steps.
It is darker than the inside of death.
In the attic, the bitter, knifing
cold whirls and eddies around shapeless mounds of old memorabilia and the
shadow moves silently to a dormer window. Cobwebs—spun by industrious spiders
long dead—are brushed aside and a single candle is placed on the sill. And in
the darkness a flame is struck.
Outside, the wind falls off to
nothing, and snow drifts listlessly to the ground. The candle flickers briefly
and catches, burning a pinprick hole in the vastness of the night.
Far out to sea, a single cry
begins and then falls silent.
And in the dormer window, where
the shadow has settled down to wait, the candle flares brightly and then goes
out.
