WEBS AND WHITE ROSES; CHARACTER INTRODUCTIONS
_
CLEO SWEARS THE HOUSE is caught in time. Ever since her mother started working as the infamous Winchester Mystery House’s newest tour guide, Cleo practically lives in the unusual mansion, and even now, she can feel the ghosts of the past glaring at her, as though just barely holding back from being fully present. Sometimes, she knows she sees the walls shift, the staircases rearranging before her eyes.
The first time she sees the girl, she thinks she must be a performer her mother has hired to host some sort of interactive tour. She tries to call out to her; it’d be nice to have someone around her own age to talk to. The house can be all-consuming, overwhelming. The girl doesn’t react; she must not have heard her. Then she walks through a wall.
Cleo knows something is up with this house, far more tangled and menacing than any of the legends make it out to be, and she’s determined to find out what. As Cleo’s reality bends, twists and knots, she begins to wonder who the Web is actually designed to catch.
