Five harrowing novellas of horror and speculative fiction from the singular mind of the New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box Josh Malerman is a master weaver of stories?and in this spine-chilling collection he spins five twisted tales from the shadows of the human soul: A sister insists to her little brother that ?Half the House Is Haunted? by a strange presence. But is it the house that?s haunted?or their childhoods? In ?Argyle,? a dying man confesses to homicides he never committed, and he reveals long-kept secrets far more sinister than murder. A tourist takes the ultimate trip to outer space in ?The Jupiter Drop,? but the real journey is into his own dark past. In ?Doug and Judy Buy the House Washer?,? a trendy married couple buys the latest home gadget only to find themselves trapped by their possessions, their history . . . and each other. And in ?Egorov,? a wealthy old cretin murders a young man, not knowing the victim was a triplet. The two surviving brothers stage a savage faux-haunting?playing the ghost of their slain brother?with the aim of driving the old murderer mad.
