Monday: This is the least dramatic storm ever

Seriously, it looks like it's going to get to Oahu, and then completely fall apart.  I don't even think it's raining here anymore.  What a ripoff.

Tl;dr;L:
  • Title:  The Rats in the Walls
  • Date:  1923
  • Summary:  Guy moves back to England to rebuild his ancestral home that has fallen into ruin.  His last ancestor to live there killed the rest of the family and fled to America.  Upon returning, he hears rats shuffling around, a sound he's eventually able to trace down to a secret cave under the manor.  He gathers associates to investigate, but due to magical genetic insanity, accidentally the Captain Norrys.
  • Last line in italics?  No.
  • Writer writes instead of fleeing?  No.
  • Rating:  6/10.  The description is good, but the end is just too clunky.  I also have trouble with the fact that just being in this place makes him crazy like his ancestors, when it's clearly established that the ancestors were fairly recent inhabitants of the place. 
  • Read it:  Here.

I woke up too early today.
