AlbakiReads Editorial

A house that holds many kinds of horror

The anthology links its stories through one impossible house, unconstrained by time or space. Each tale centers on a different room, where inhabitants encounter creatures drawn from varied cultural traditions, including the Trickster, the Rusalka, and the Tiyanak. Across the collection, the house serves as more than a setting: its rooms frame themes of permanence, transition, and change, while bringing together distinct approaches to monsters and haunting. The result is a shared fictional space for stories that vary in focus but are connected by the presence of the house.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in speculative fiction and horror anthologies
  • Readers curious about monsters from a range of cultural traditions
  • Readers who enjoy collections connected by a shared setting

Book overview

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.
