I thought I had a post to this already but I have finally uploaded the UK version of The Disappearing Floor a legendary train wreck of a story in its original form.
You know what also disappeared, the PDF of The mystery of Cabin Island, as we found out that the final chapter is missing from the original, so we've taken it down.
Also I've placed and received an order for the original and there is a nice coincidence as it came yesterday which I'll share.
Our copy came from World of books down on the Sussex coast along with Secret of the Caves. It has a library label in it from Greenwich library in Greenwich which is not a million miles away from us here and to make it worse it was stored at the Metropolitan Joint Fiction Reserve at Plumstead which happened to be our local library.
Weirdly it feels like its come home, so will have to scan and OCR it to give you a proper PDF of this.
Anyway the Disappearing floor.
Its strange one in the original where the boys deal with, bank robbers, strange Wilhelm Reich style cultists and a crazy mansion where the floors move and the laws of electricity are disregarded. Poor old Fenton gets attacked by tigers and shocked by untold amount of volts from Aden Darrow's machines.
The remake cuts down on most of the craziness, relegating the tiger bites to Tiger's Bight a small bay in Barmet. Our bank robbers have become jewel thieves and the story flows a lot better for it.
