"Mrs Raeburn's Waxwork" by Lady Eleanor Smith

Stranded in a rainy manufacturing city and in need of money, a down-on-his-luck actor accepts a job at Mugivan’s Waxworks. But when dusk falls, the wax figures in the chamber of Curiosities and Horrors seem to take on a life of their own, and one in particular begins to exert a powerful influence over the hapless attendant.
