Starfield:Shadows in the Attic

[In 2297, then-unknown author Paul Lamont published the horror novel Shadows in the Attic. It quickly went on to become one of the highest-grossing books in the Settled Systems.]

Martin, standing on the front lawn, peered up at the small attic window.

"What do you see, Marty? Do you see the little girl? The ghost everyone is so afraid of?" Eva asked, almost laughing at the absurdity of the local legend.

"No. Not a ghost," Martin responded. "Only... shadows."
