Crooked Houses

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (34027 ratings)

Description:Is there a theme in supernatural fiction more prone to cliché and cozy familiarity than the haunted house story?With this mammoth new anthology, Egaeus Press aims to reclaim that supremely primal tradition, not only from glossy movies, cartoons and television-era ghost hunters, but also from the Victorians, and the great, academic spook story authors of the 20th Century who, by their nature, sought to calibrate, anthropomorphise and provide justification for acts by forces which might hitherto have been considered beyond the scope of human comprehension.Crooked Houses takes its cue from this earlier age. Though many of the stories presented are set in the modern world, the forces which pervade are primeval, unquantifiable; the stuff of folk-tales, family curses and collective nightmares.These houses have very deep roots. These houses have teeth.The book comprises 17 previously unpublished stories. The full table of contents is as follows:YOUR HOUSE, ANY HOUSE. THAT HOUSE. — Rebecca KuderTHE SULLIED PANE — Richard GavinTHE SHEPHERD’S HOUSE — Colin InsoleTHE WEST WINDOW — Helen GrantTHE PSYCHOMANTEUM — Steve DuffyTHE CRUMBLIES — Reggie OliverTHE DEVIL WILL BE AT THE DOOR — David SurfaceTHE HOUSE OF THE MERE — John GaleFAIREST OF THEM ALL — Albert PowerMIASMATA — Lynda E.
