From the introduction: It was fifty years ago tonight as the tales go that something horrible happened at the Brickbeard Brewery. The workers fled saying only that Brickbeard -the greatest brewer of his age- was cursed and gone mad. Those who investigated found only a boarded up building. But the old brewery still stands! And haunted places always carry rumours; "They say old Brickbeard stashed away a fortune!” or "Have you heard about the lights that flicker in the windows on the night of the full moon?" Everyone has heard these stories; and don't rumours sometimes have a kernel of truth? In fact, those strange events happened exactly fifty years ago today...
