The mansion was a monolithic structure, located beyond a several run down housing subdivisions, the house resembled something that should have been placed on the east coast when Poe was looking for inspiriation. It was well tended, but had a feeling of age, as if centuries had concentrated the weight of their time and deposited it upon this building. The window shutters were open, but heavy crimson curtains hid the interior from view, the white paint peeled in places, but this added to the sense of foreboding and age, rather than make the house look run-down.
As the Limo pulls up to the front door the house almost seems to breath, the crimson eyes of it's curtained windows seem to watch you, several small shapes seem to crawl across the roof, that is until you look directly at them, then the twisted forms seem nothing more than statuary. This house has probably avoided vanadlism through the sense of fear it brings to bear on those approaching it.
The limo door opens about the same time as the front door, and a creature the size of a small dog crawls out, it lacks hair, but has six legs, with hands resembling a monkeys (they can be used as hands or feet equally). It has a row of spiny protrusions of bone on it's back, but the most horrifying thing about it is the face, it is the face and head of a female child of about 5 years old, it's angelic face framed by blonde curls, with a hint of fear and pain in the eyes, it say "this way please." in it's childs voice.
