The Laugh in the Cellar

By Edward Leonard

In the grim and isolated Bleak House, young Effie Galt finds her nerves frayed by the eerie laughter that echoes from the sealed cellar. Her aunts and uncle dismiss the sounds as fancy-until a shadowy form is glimpsed, and David Galloway is found murdered at the foot of the cellar stairs, his neck raked by what appear to be claw marks.

With no way in or out of the windowless cellar, the impossible crime defies reason. As a local constable and a county detective begin their investigation, the house's dark history of violence and madness comes to light. Is there a human killer hiding a cunning secret, or has something unearthly been unleashed in the cellar? The chilling mystery tightens its grip as Effie and her remaining family confront the terror that lurks below...
