In the wintry spring of 1936, Arthor Crandle, down-on-his luck and desperate for work, accepts a position in Providence, Rhode Island, as a live-in secretary/assistant for an unnamed shut-in. He arrives at the gloomy colonial-style house to discover that his strange employer is an author of disturbing, bizarre fiction. Health issues have restricted him to his bedroom, where he is never to be disturbed. But the article writer, who Crandle recognizes only as "Ech-Pi", won't meet him, connecting only by characters left over a desk outside his room. Soon the home uncovers other unnerving peculiarities. There is an ominous occurrence Crandle feels on the primary stairwell. Light shines out underneath the door of the writer's room, but is unseen from the road. It becomes more and more clear there is something not right about the home or its occupant. Haunting visions of a young gal in a white nightgown wandering the walled-in garden behind the home motivate Crandle to research the circumstances of his employer's dark genealogy. Meanwhile, the unsettling aura of the home pulls him into a world increasingly cut off from simple fact, into black depths, where an unspeakable magic formula lies waiting.
