Man, I totally get the hunt for free reads—budgets can be tight, and books shouldn’t be locked behind paywalls! For 'OLD HOUSE,' I’d start by digging into sites like Project Gutenberg or Open Library, which specialize in public domain or older titles. Sometimes, lesser-known novels pop up there if they’ve slipped into copyright expiration. Also, forums like Reddit’s r/FreeEBOOKS often share obscure finds.
If those don’t pan out, check Wayback Machine archives; fan sites or old blogs might’ve hosted it before vanishing. Just be cautious—sketchy sites with pop-up galore aren’t worth the malware risk. I once found a rare horror novel snippet on a defunct Geocities page, so persistence pays off!
