About this ebook
With In Our House: Tantalizing Tales of Terror, Award-winning author Peter A. Balaskas unleashes his unique style of mesmerizing horror once again. This collection of short stories takes readers on a dark journey into that shadow realm between the real and surreal, where ordinary people find themselves confronted by extraordinary things. Close the windows. Lock the doors. Check under the bed. And make yourself at home...in our house.
"In his short story collection In Our House, Peter Balaskas delights in presenting to us terrible men and then further delights in delivering to them their well-earned comeuppance. A wicked read."
David Fuller, Edgar Award Nominee
"Like Patricia Highsmith or even early Stephen King, Balaskas is shaping himself into a modern master of magic and terror."
Marlon James, NY Times Editor's Choice and LA Book Prize Finalist

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Read and reviewed for Member Giveaways.A book of short stories - not all of them tales of terror, but all on the fantastical side. There is something for everyone in 'Our House'. I'd call this weird fiction rather than terror, but nearly all of them worked for me. My favourite was 'Crossing the Styx', a tale of an undertaker who can't stop himself helping the dead who are unable to move on for whatever reason. Once he has helped one spirit, more come and... well you'll have to read it for yourself. I'd look out for more by this author.
