Shades of Gray was the sixty-first Bernice Summerfield audio story released by Big Finish Productions. It was the second story of the Legion series.
Publisher's summary
"They used to say this house attracts nothing but evil. What are we all doing here, I wonder?"
Many years ago, in an old and dilapidated house, a priceless and powerful artefact was hidden: an item that has long since been forgotten...at least until Bernice, Ruth and Jack were sent to collect it.
In the depths of Triptic House, Bernice and her friends find themselves at the mercy of an ancient and ruthless entity, one that has been yearning for escape, biding its time and going mad...
It has lived so very long now, with so many stories to share — tales of haunted mental institutions; tormented tapestries; living nightmares — and through each of them now, its stories shall be told. They shall be told, lived, suffered, shared...and ultimately, concluded.
Plot
Benny, Ruth and Jack arrive at the dilapidated Triptic House in a supposedly uninhabitable part of Legion in search of a work of art that Benny has been contracted to collect. In the basement, they find a hideous portrait which seems to be wet until Jack tastes the paint and realises that it is bleeding. He uses technology to release the brainwaves stored inside the portrait in a process that he likens to a séance, causing the stirred memories to pass through the three of them in turn.
Taking the role of Dr Hawk and Dr Warrilow respectively, Benny and Jack meet Dorian Gray and ask him to investigate a supposed ghost. The ghost, whose place is taken by Ruth, tells Dorian that her name is Caitlin and that she was brought to the psychiatric hospital by Amelia Blythe, the cell's former occupation whom she later made commit suicide. She also tells Dorian that somebody is coming for him to make him pay his price and that he ought to run. He does so and informs Hawk and Warillow that Caitlin is Blythe's imaginary friend and they should stay on her good side to survive.
