What reading level is The Silent House book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" " Men desire thousands of days, and wish to live long here: rather let them despise thousands of days, and desire that one which hath neither dawn nor darken- ing, to which no yesterday gives place, which yields to no to-morrow. " NEAR HOME. 55 Our sense of the brevity of life, and the nearness of the eternal world, may, perhaps, be quickened, if we turn to look upon some of the weapons which death is always handling in the assault upon human life.
The Scandinavian mythology relates that Hela..., or Death, dwells in the hall Elvidnir; that Hunger is her table, and Starvation her knife ; that she is waited upon by Delay and Slowness for man and maid ; that her bed is Care ; and that Burning Anguish furnishes the hangings of her apartments; and that her threshold is a precipice. In some strange pal- ace, Death is now holding high court ; and the attendants bear names that strike terror into the human soul. Famine invades the country, and pestilence breaks in upon the city. There is heard a great cry ; for there is not a house where there is not one dead.
