Anthology:
This is an amazing anthology. I decided to go blind into it so I could be giddy and excited every time I realized one of my favorite authors was in this book with a short tale. But I also discovered other authors I haven't read and now I want to check out their novels. It's hard to pick my favorite. They are all very creepy, some are emotional and sad, talking about grief, loss, and lost opportunities. They are also positive and have great plot twists when the people who see these ghosts try to help them or communicate with them. There's also always a pertinent and relatable theme explored in each. Relatable to YA ages and older readers. it's not just horror without a message, they go deeper and make us think. Makes a perfect rec for this Spooky season.
Book Info:
The House Where Death Lives by Alex Brown
Genre: Young Adult Horror/Paranormal
Publishing Date: August 6, 2024
Synopsis:
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 groundbreaking 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.
