“The House Where Death Lives” is a ya horror anthology that includes sixteen short stories, written by different authors. The central theme of the entire anthology is a house, unbound by the laws of time and space, in whose rooms mysterious and eerie events happen. Each short story takes place in a specific room, through various time periods, with different protagonists and events. I liked some of the stories a lot, while others left me indifferent. Of some titles I enjoyed the particularly sinister atmosphere, evocative prose, and intriguing events. I loved the short stories by Courtney Gould, Traci Chee, Rosiee Thor, Gina Chen and Tori Bovalino!

All in all, I found it an enjoyable spooky anthology that I recommend to lovers of the genre and short stories!

Thank you to the Publisher and NetGalley for giving me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed the premise of this one- all the short stories center around events that happen in different areas of a house throughout time. Like many short story collections, I thought some stories stood out more than others. This one had good representation in it, which I appreciated. I really liked how suspenseful/creepy some of the stories were, it really kept me reading! I caught myself getting a little creeped out reading this one late at night! Overall a good, spooky read!

This wasn't listed as LGBTQ and should have been. The stories weren't scary and honestly, didn't make much sense. The concept was great but there was no follow through on content.
