Publisher's blurb: It's said that twenty years ago, celebrated toymaker and inventor Johannes Rubian went mad. He murdered innocent travelers, conducted grisly experiments, and eventually turned upon his own wife and children. His dark dealings ended with his neck in a noose slung from a tree on his own estate grounds. Rubian Manor has stood silent and crumbling ever since. Until today, when a string of new disappearances has the nearby town locked in fear. They sense that Rubian's House has awakened, and that the Halls of the Toymaker are active once more.
