Synopsis

The house beckons you inside. Do you enter?

A dance to the death. A monstrous girl who lures people into dark water. A hallway that’s constantly changing—and hungry. All these stories exist within a house unbound from the laws of time and space.

From the attic, to the library, to the grounds, each chilling story in this anthology focuses on a different area of the haunted house and features unique takes on monsters from a wide array of cultural traditions. Whether it’s a trickster djinn, a water-loving rusalka, or a horrifying, baby-imitating tiyanak, there’s always something sinister lurking in the shadows.

Edited by Alex Brown and featuring stories from New York Times best-selling and award-winning authors: Nova Ren Suma, Gina Chen, Traci Chee, Linsey Miller, Rosiee Thor, Courtney Gould, Kay Costales, Liz Hull, Shelly Page, Justine Pucella Winans, Sandra Proudman, C.L. McCollum, Nora Elghazzawi, Tori Bovalino, and g. haron davis

Goodreads review by Autumn on March 11, 2025

Giving this 4 stars but it was probably closer to a high 3 for me overall. I did really like some of the stories but unfortunately the first one was my favorite and it kinda dipped after. It gets bonus points though for being overwhelmingly saphic and having a great concept.......more
