Summary: "Whispers at Dawn; Or, The Eye" by Roy J. Snell is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. It centers around a young boy named Johnny Thompson who finds himself entwined in a series of bizarre and potentially dangerous adventures after acquiring three mysterious black boxes at an auction. The narrative unfolds in a world filled with elements of magic and electrical wizardry, as Johnny encounters peculiar characters, enigmatic phenomena, and a sinister underworld. The opening of the story introduces Johnny as he arrives at a strange brownstone house in Chicago, guided by curiosity and a drive to return the professor's lost library he purchased at an auction. Upon entering, he is met with eerie occurrences—mysterious eyes appearing in the walls, a dancing skeleton that resembles him, and a girl named Beth who invites him into a realm of magic and danger. As Johnny explores this haunted space, he learns about the conflicts that ensue from reclaiming the professor's belongings and the lurking threats from questionable figures. The stage is set for a gripping adventure filled with suspense and intrigue, wherein Johnny's quest not only tests his bravery but also leads to unexpected friendships and perilous encounters.
