“There are no words for what we are.”

The Book Fairies have been busy sharing copies of an anthology of spooky stories – The House Where Death Lives…  Who was lucky enough to spot one?

About the book:

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.

Edited by Alex Brown, this collection features stories by Courtney Gould, Traci Chee, Kay Costales, Liz Hull, Nova Ren Suma, Rosiee Thor, Nora Elghazzawi, Sandra Proudman, Shelly Page, Justine Pucella Winans, g. haron davis, Gina Chen, C.L. McCollum, Tori Bovalino, Alex Brown and Linsey Miller.
