About the book: New York Times bestselling and award-winning authors weave interconnected haunted house stories to build a unique collection of chilling tales.

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.

Alex Brown (she/her) is a queer biracial Filipino American writer who loves to root for the final girl—especially if she’s a monster. She is also the co-creator of The Bridge, a haunting, folklore-filled narrative fiction podcast that’s had over 1,000,000 downloads to date! Alex has a story in the Indie Bestselling YA Folk Horror anthology, The Gathering Dark and is co-editing Night of the Living Queers, a YA Horror anthology. Alex lives in Los Angeles with her partner and their two chaotic cats. Alex’s YA Comedy-Horror debut, Damned If You Do, was published in fall 2023.
