Description

A dance to the death. A girl who’s just as monstrous as H.H. Holmes. A hallway that’s constantly changing—and hungry. All of these stories exist in the same place—within the frame of a particular house that isn’t bound by the laws of time and space.

Following in the footsteps of dark/horror-filled YA anthologies like His Hideous Heart and Slasher Girls and Monster Boys, and Netflix’s ground-breaking adaptation of The 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 it’s a demonic Trickster, a water-loving Rusalka, or a horrifying, baby-imitating Tiyanak, there’s bound to be something sinister lurking in the shadows.

Featured Reviews

A fantastic collection of YA LGBTQ short stories all based around the concept of a creepy house. I loved the format of starting at the top of the house with stories based on the attic going down all the way to the grounds. Each story managed to stay connected to the "haunted" house theme while being uniquely different. There was great LGBTQ representation and different cultural representations with unique folklore ties. Almost every story I gave a 5 star while there were a couple that fell flat. Overall, this is definitely my favorite short story anthology I have ever read and highly recommend it to anyone who loves the haunted house trope and young adult stories.
