He writes letters to his brother and to others, including a friend still in jail. When he meets a real estate agent who tells him he is the heir to a huge old house, long empty, he moves in, though he is too broke to even buy furniture, and is immediately confronted by supernatural and fantastic creatures and events. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHis life is utterly transformed and we read on, because we must know more.
