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.

Industry Reviews

"Loss and grief of various kinds are at the core of each story in this engaging volume. Will make readers lock their doors, turn on the lights, and cover every mirror in the house."
--Kirkus Reviews

"Themes of love, loss, and transition are woven throughout simmering romances and expansive adventures, which come together to build a collection of Haunting of Hill House-inspired tales that is cohesive, reflective, and satisfying."
--Publishers Weekly

"[A] superb ensemble of nightmarish stories about demons of all kinds. [...]Compellingly horrifying."
--Shelf Awareness

"Eerie and poignant, The House Where Death Lives is a bewitching collection--a striking, shivery tribute to warm hands, cold claws, and broken hearts."
--Ann Fraistat, bestselling author of A Place for Vanishing and What We Harvest
