Welcome to the Peeg House.
The pig turned a page. “Welcome to the Peeg House,” it said, without looking. “Rules are simple. Don’t open the basement door after midnight. Don’t feed the mirror in the upstairs bathroom. And whatever you do, don’t say ‘thank you’ to the tall man in the gray coat if he offers you anything.”
The second was a woman—or had been, once. Her skin was the gray-green of a thundercloud, and her hair moved in slow, separate strands, like seaweed in a lazy current. She was knitting what looked like a scarf made of fog.
At the end of the hall, a second door stood ajar. Beyond it, a common room.
Leo took a breath.
And in the middle of that room, sitting on a sagging velvet settee, were three of the strangest creatures Leo had ever seen.
Leo stared at it, then down at the flyer crumpled in his fist.
“How much for the first month?” he heard himself ask.
