H. P. Lovecraft 
Shunned House [EPUB ebook] 

The shunned house of the title has long been an object of fascination for the narrator, a fascination he shares with his uncle, Dr. Elihu Whipple. The narrator summarises the strange lore the good doctor has collected about the house, lore filled with unexplained sicknesses and deaths, and follows this with his personal account of what happened when he and his uncle ventured inside the old house.
