A Tale of Van Troft's House1
It was the House, as it always was. There were a lot of distinguished innumerable monstrous dwellers inside it and the House was situated at a rocky desert, under a forever grey sky where thunderbolts crepitated.2
One time, Yuri, the vampire, came back perturbed from the basement (where the Mad Scientist was lodged). He met Emilio, the werewolf, in the dinner room.3
'I just visited Baron Von Troft.'4
'Take care! Don’t get crazy either! What has he said to you?'5
'Did you ever think about what is this house and what are we really? Baron told me this is not a true house, it is really a human writer’s mind and we are just imaginary characters of this writer.' 6
Emilio kept himself away furious because of that foolishness7

Yem, thank you very much because of your comment. And thanks for your suggestion.
Well... Yuri, Emilio, Baron and so on are not in my mind. When I wrote this story I imagined a fictional writer (a guy) and I imagined these creatures are inside his mind. It seemed to me more funny this way.

P.S. I plan other stories in Von Troft´s House. -
Funny, you show just the right amount of odd humor that makes this funny but creative.
If these guys are in your head I hope they stay there!
Suggestion:
lot of distinguished innumerable monstrous dwellers
Way more adjectives than you need. Something more simple like, "Inside, well-known monsters dwelled." Just an idea but it does limit not only the redundant "lot/innumerable" but I think reads clearer.
This was a fun poem to read. You have some very creative ideas floating around in your head.
