The Rooming House

Nobody ever chose to take up residence at THE ROOMING HOUSE, that domicile of unfathomable architecture and nebulous intent; to hope to find content between its warped door-frames and moldering wallpapers, or comfort in the sounds of its muffled creaks and strange nocturnal music. Yet it was never short of tenants. Some would simply never leave.

This book presents ten unsettling, interconnecting stories by ten of our finest weird fiction writers, defining, in their mosaic fashion, a sort of map of a hitherto uncharted region of dark influence and malevolent forces, centred in and around this singular building.
