Spin a Black Yarn: Novellas
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.
