The House Where Death Lives

By Alex Brown & Nova Ren Suma &
The House Where Death Lives by Alex Brown & Nova Ren Suma &  digital book - Fable

Publisher 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.

Expressionless Face“I really wanted to like this compilation of short stories more, but there was such a difference in the quality of some stories. There were some great stories that I really enjoyed, while some were harder to get through.”
Surprised Face with Open Mouth“I've been getting into horror short stories recently and this book was BEAUTIFUL! Many of the characters were queer/LGBTQ+ which made me feel very represented. The stories were eerie and definitely felt real. I love how they're all set up by the level of the house!”
