    About this ebook

    Three thrilling stories of horror and mystery.
    Three tales of classical style that will freeze you
    Three fascinating stories for all the lovers of the genre. THE FATHER´S INHERITANCE: a young mother discovers that her little baby is suffering from strange transformations. "One of those nights little Pete started breathing in a very strange way, very abrupt. Sharon got scared and turned on the light. Her son appeared to be sleeping peacefully, as if nothing had happened. Horrified, she could observe that the body of her adorable baby was covered by a kind of dark hair. She gasped and tried to calm down." THE DOLL: little Penny finds a beautiful porcelain doll abandoned and decides to take her home. Her parents do not quite like that idea.
    "Penny stared at her doll´s face and discovered that it had changed. It was true, now she seemed angry. But until then she appeared to be happy and smiley."
    THE FORGOTTEN HOUSE: an architect in trouble moves to a lonely house up in a hillside. "As usual, very late in the early morning someone was banging the door. He went down the stairs and got to the entrance with the hope that it was just a gang of bored children."  
    HARRY GLUM gives us as a gift three short stories that would be the delight of the most ambitious readers.

      YOU

      THE FATHER´S INHERITANCE

      She had been wishing to get pregnant for three years, and at last Sharon had achieved her objective. She was really happy.

      Peter was an adorable man, and her life at his side was full, in all the aspects, including the sexual; but the fertilization, probably by a quirk of fate, had been keeping them waiting.

      Now that she had stopped for a while her work at the lawyer´s office (a generous agreement allowed her to take three years of voluntary leave), she could spend her full time taking care of her pregnancy, arranging little Pete´s bedroom, (yes, it was going to be a boy!) and buying all the outfits she wanted for her baby. The paradise...

      But something was disturbing the world of fantasy in which Sharon was immersed: in the last sonogram, in the seventh month of pregnancy, the doctors had detected some anomalies in little Pete. Nothing to worry about used to tell her the gynaecologist, but enough to keep track of the evolution of the pregnancy.

      Peter was there to give her support, and she felt protected in his arms. In fact, for many days she didn´t wish other thing than being trapped in her husband´s arms.

      Finally, her son came to the world with no problems, and Sharon could enjoy her motherhood just as she had dreamt. Little Pete was adorable, with his big blue eyes and his scarce blond hair, which stretched on his little head to end curled on his nape. He was a whim of a child.

      Sharon was sleeping next to her son, so that her husband could rest and go to work in full conditions. She didn´t mind staying awake at night, besides the following day she could make up for the lost sleep hours. In fact, she thought it would be wonderful to continue forever with that nice routine, instead of having to come back, sooner or later, to her position as an attorney.

      One of those nights little Pete started breathing in
