Courtney Crumrin ist kein glücklicher Camper. Ihre Eltern haben jahrelang über ihren Verhältnissen gelebt und jetzt endlich eine Lösung für ihre finanziellen Schwierigkeiten gefunden. Sie ziehen in die Vorstadt zu ihrem reichen Onkel, Professor Aloysius Crumrin. Die große viktorianische Villa des alten Crumrin ist eingebettet in die wohlhabende Nachbarschaft von Hillsborough. Jedoch muss Courtney bald feststellen, dass Onkel Aloysius einen unheimlichen Ruf im ganzen Stadtteil hat und ihn und sein Haus dunkle Geschichten umgeben. Und während dieses neue Arrangement ihren Eltern endlich den erwünschten sozialen Aufstieg erlaubt, fühlt sich Courtney, als wäre sie in einem Alptraum gelandet. Einem, in dem sie eine Ausgestoßene zwischen ihren neuen, verzogenen Klassenkameraden ist. Und als wäre das nicht schlimm genug, scheint diese modrige, alte Villa auch das Heim von wesentlich seltsameren Kreaturen als ihren Eltern oder Onkel Aloysius zu sein. Sie krabbeln durch die dunklen Korridore, gerade außerhalb der Sicht. Sie knirschen mit Knochen in den Ecken. Und manchmal klettern sie auf das Bett und beobachten Courtney, während sie schläft. Ihre Eltern bemerken sie nicht, aber Onkel Aloysius kennt sie alle. Er nennt sie „die Wesen der Nacht“.
