Spin a Black Yarn: Novellas | Josh Malerman
3 posts | 4 read | 5 to read
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 storiesand 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 hauntedor their childhoods? In "Argyle," a dying man confesses to homicides he never committed, and 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.

My CR! In the tradition of keeping with #spookysummer - I‘m really hoping I like this one because I JUST got the acceptance right before it‘s archive. Josh Malerman is a author I love but he can be very hit or miss for me, and as a result I haven‘t read much of his work since Pearl. So I‘m hoping this is a turn around from the whiplash I have from Fourth Wing😐
