Spin a Black Yarn

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 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.
