Missing Link

“Old Rambling House” is a short story by science fiction author Frank Herbert which first appeared in Galaxy magazine in 1958 and later in Herbert’s 1985 short story collection The Worlds of Frank Herbert. It is notable for its atmosphere and the dystopian multiverse in which no hope of freedom is left, which is atypical for Herbert’s works.
