Angie stretched out her arms to either side to keep her bearings. She was walking as warily as a blind person. Her right hand groped thin air, and she waved it back and forth to locate the tall dark object she sensed was right there, very close.
She found it. Her hand closed on it. She felt something rounded. Fabric-covered. Warm.
Warm?
Like someone’s shoulder.
Then it shifted under her touch, confirming her unarticulated fears. She had touched a real live person who was hiding in the dark, still as a statue.

"What was it, that was there,
in the house?
...it didn't drag chains
or stomp up and down the stairs...
it was the odd way
the shadows fell at night...
too black. Not logical...
in places where
there was nothing...
to cast them."
What is the secret
in The Shop on Wickenden Street?
In the much anticipated sequel to The House on Benefit Street, spunky fiftyish widow Angie Russo is going broke...and takes a second job at a dingy little antiques shop on bohemian Wickenden Street on the East Side of Providence. She doesn't know a thing about antiques,
but she learns one lesson early on:
Don't look in the mirrors.
They look back.
