Summary "Old Rambling House" by Frank Herbert is a science fiction short story published in the late 1950s. The narrative focuses on the experience of Ted and Martha Graham, a couple seeking a new home. Their desire for a stable abode transforms into a surreal ordeal when they find themselves entangled in a bizarre and unsettling situation after attempting to trade their trailer for what seems to be an extravagant house. The story unfolds as the Grahams meet the mysterious Clint Rush and his wife, who offer them their seemingly luxurious home in an unusual trade. As they explore the house, they are confronted by strange occurrences and an unsettling sense of being manipulated. They soon discover that they have inadvertently become part of the machinations of an alien species, the Rojac, who have abducted them for their own purposes. Ted, identified as a tax accountant, finds himself thrust into a role he intends to resist, especially concerning the fate of their unborn child, raising questions about autonomy, family, and the nature of home. The plot culminates in a tense revelation, revealing a deeper commentary on the concepts of belonging and the potential sacrifices for the greater good. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
