The House of Dust
L. A. Borah
Read by Ben Tucker
The old Lamont House sits still out in the Louisiana swamp, covered in dust and seemingly untouched since that terrible murder that occurred there twenty years ago. When daughter of murdered patriarch of the Lamont family Elise shows up at the Lamont House one stormy evening, escorted by intrepid doctor Kirk Hayward, to meet her brother and his new bride, they become entangled in a series of mysterious events that result in a fresh murder and dangers from someone, or something, lurking amongst the silence and dust of that decrepit mansion.
From the pages of the November and December 1924 issues of Weird Tales magazine comes this thrilling and jocular serial that's sure to sends shivers of delight up the spine of all who enjoy a fun mystery!
