A psychedelic horror novel reminiscent of Burnt Offerings by Robert Marasco, T. Kingfisher’s A House with Good Bones, and Dario Argento’s surreal horror film Suspiria.

Jack and Avery’s new home on Calliope Street is a fixer-upper’s dream. The lurid collage of porno-graphic clippings on the basement wall seems like a quirky (and campy) feature. But once the house awakens, what seemed harmless becomes as horrifying as the blood seeping from the car-pet. The house is alive. It is intelligent. And it demands homage.

Inspired by the surreal and graphic films of the Italian maestros as well as a meditation on obses-sion and the relationship between tragedy and art, The House on Blood Street evokes the myth of Orpheus and Euridice, mixing art, love, and death into a modern take on the haunted house.
