About a man who took refuge in the house of an old judge. Most people stay away from this house (for good reasons) and this man finds out why soon enough.
I really enjoyed this one, I liked the mystery, pacing and tone.
And reallyyy enjoyed the ending. Ambiguous yet still satisfying.

A spooky fun short story from Bram Stoker about a student who stays at a haunted house infested with rats. This story is a fun taste of Stoker in a small portion. It is a tiny bit predictable, but still enjoyable. “Rats Is Bogeys and Bogeys Is Rats” is also a haunting and iconic line that this story left in my head after its conclusion.

Listened to the Arthur Lane's fantastic narration on YouTube

Obvious foreshadowing is obvious. Otherwise, decently well written, with a few enjoyable (if predictable) twists and turns.

Me ha dado mucho mal rollo sobre todo hacia el final. Yo es que el tema de las ratas... Y todo lo de esta historia suele acojonarme mucho. No siento que la forma en la que está escrito sea especialmente diferente y que tenga una prosa muy cuidada o reveladora pero está bien y no se lee mal, es ligero de leer y da miedo que es lo que pretende el relato.
