As I promised Dr. Hoffman, I went to Windcliff first thing this morning. There was a brilliant morning sun in the sky, and all was serene; however, while waiting for Nurse Prichett to bring Amy, I heard the weather report: clear, cold… and full moon. Please, not again. My thoughts were interrupted as I saw…

Earlier this evening, I arrived in Collinsport but wasn’t prepared for the greeting I received from Joe. “No… no… you’re dead. Stay away from me. You’re dead! I saw you!” He had obviously mistaken me for Tom. I told him I wasn’t Tom, but Chris. I asked him if he realized the mistake he’d made…

It was at dusk, during an unseasonable storm, when Nicholas Blair removed the stake from my chest. He commanded, “You will rise, Tom Jennings, you will rise!” I lunged toward him, but he stopped me. “I am your master. I have saved you. You will do what I say.” He also threatened that if he…

As I watched  Julia Hoffman enter the room and catch Jeff reading some type of journal, I tried to remember how I got there. The evening after Maggie came to the hospital, Joe arrived just as she…

After finishing a wiring project upstairs at what we call, “the house by the sea,” I asked its new resident, Nicholas Blair, if I could take a look around the cellar to get an idea of how much more work needed to be done. You can never tell in these old houses.  I entered a…
