The new kid in school, Octavius Bloom, is a genuine detective and he's looking for a mystery to solve. It looks like he came to the right place!
"On Crabapple Street around the bend, in back of the house near the dark Dead End, stuffed up inside of a rickety shed is the source of a horrible, terrible dread. Something lives there. But what? No-one knows. So its one place in town where no kid ever goes."
The other kids in class tell Octavius about the scary things they believe are in the shed behind Pricilla O'Moore's house. And Octavius takes the case. Then, as Octavius investigates, he gets the scare of a lifetime. Can Octavius keep his cool or will the House of Doom claim him as its victim?
