Creepy homes call to them strange people push them toward their apparent fate and in the case of the woman in “The Drowned Siren,” a ghost of the sea becomes a relentless obsession. Many characters find themselves drawn or led to things, as if they’re inescapable. Even the terrible death that opens “Those Beneath, Devour,” is the result of a string of unfortunate choices.ĭalpe’s grim tales carry a strong tone of foreboding. The same is true for humans, as not every one of their horrific or bizarre deeds stems from malice.
As it turns out, not all these nonhuman characters are malignant quite a few throughout this collection will garner readers’ sympathy, as they’re merely trying to survive or live in peace. There’s also little doubt as to what these sinister things are doing, from hijacking bodies to enacting graphic, visceral assaults. While the stories’ ambiguous details steer clear of precisely defining creatures and entities, some seem familiar-not unlike werewolves, vampires, and ghosts. However, there are signs that Bob, one of its residents, is physically abusing his wife, Barbara, and something else in their Cape Cod–style home may prove deadly. “The Horror on Sycamore Lane,” for example, unfolds in a seemingly picture-perfect town. Other scary things in this book don’t always keep themselves hidden. Unseen evils pop up in other stories as well, such as “Dark Inheritance,” in which a woman named Emeline learns that her feeling that something is incessantly following her may be a threat in itself.
Her latest episode covers a Victorian home that some have entered but never exited, including her older brother.
