The first book in the series was adapted as one of the stories in the 1979 Vincent Price television anthology Once Upon a Midnight Scary. After this, Strickland began writing additional novels based on the characters. Brad Strickland was hired by Bellairs' son to complete the unfinished manuscripts, with the results published from 1993 as The Ghost in the Mirror, The Vengeance of the Witchfinder, and The Doom of the Haunted Opera. It proved a large success, and Bellairs published two sequels in 1975 ( The Figure in the Shadows) and 1976 ( The Letter, the Witch and the Ring).Īfter taking nearly fifteen years off to work on two other series, Bellairs had begun work on at least three additional sequels at the time of his death. Published in 1973, the work introduced the character of Lewis Barnevelt, his magician uncle Jonathan, and their friends Florence Zimmermann and (mentioned only) Rose Rita Pottinger, who live in the town of New Zebedee, Michigan Jonathan owns the eponymous House, which was previously the property of a married couple of evil magicians with some very nasty secrets.
The House With a Clock in Its Walls is a Gothic horror novel for younger readers by John Bellairs, with illustrations by Edward Gorey.
