Josh and I hated our new house.

Sure, it was big. It looked like a mansion compared to our old house. It was a tall

redbrick house with a sloping black roof and rows of windows framed by black

shutters.

It’s so dark, I thought, studying it from the street. The whole house was covered

in darkness, as if it were hiding in the shadows of the gnarled, old trees that bent over

it.

It was the middle of July, but dead brown leaves blanketed the front yard. Our

“Look how big it is,” Mom added, smoothing back her straight black hair and

smiling at Josh. “We’ll have room for a den and maybe a rec room, too. You’d like
