David Edwards, Chuck Greif and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (Northern Illinois University Digital Library) "Nick Carter Stories No. 150, July 24, 1915: The House of Fear" is a fiction work written in the early 20th century. The story features the famous detective Nick Carter as he navigates a series of menacing confrontations with criminals, including a vengeful adversary named Gaston Goulard, who he believed to be dead. The narrative blends elements of mystery and suspense, focusing on themes of deception, danger, and the relentless pursuit of justice. The opening portion of the story introduces Nick Carter in a precarious situation as he is confronted by Goulard, who reveals himself as very much alive and intent on revenge. Carter, having just engaged in a failed attempt to capture a criminal, finds himself at the mercy of Goulard, who has locked him in a basement area. Goulard expresses his desire to torment Carter with threats of coming retribution for past wrongs. As the tension escalates, the reader gets a glimpse into Carter's cool demeanor under pressure. The scene shifts from a direct confrontation to a subplot involving a robbery, as Carter seeks to outsmart Goulard and alludes to his partnership with the infamous Sadie Badger, indicating a deeper intrigue that will unfold as the plot develops. The suspenseful setup sets the stage for what promises to be an action-packed narrative of crime and investigation. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
