The House Where Death Lives

A dance to the death. A girl whos just as monstrous as H.H. Holmes. A hallway thats constantly changingand hungry. All of these stories exist in the same placewithin the frame of a particular house that isnt bound by the laws of time and space.

Following in the footsteps of dark/horror-filled YA anthologies likeHis Hideous HeartandSlasher Girls and Monster Boys, and Netflixs ground-breaking adaptation ofThe Haunting of Hill House, this YA speculative fiction anthology explores how the permanence of a home can become a space of transition and change for both the inhabitants and the creatures who haunt them.

Each story in the anthology will focus on a different room in the house and feature unique takes on monsters from a wide array of cultural traditions. Whether its a demonic Trickster, a water-loving Rusalka, or a horrifying, baby-imitating Tiyanak, theres bound to be something sinister lurking in the shadows.

[A] superb ensemble of nightmarish stories about demons of all kinds. [...]Compellingly horrifying.
