What happens behind closed doors can never be learned – unless someone inside screams loud enough to be heard. In the first novel of Stephen Graham Jones’ dual publication of The Babysitter Lives/ Killer on the Road, a babysitter realizes she is not alone in the house with the twins she’s watching. In Amber Sparks’ Happy People Don’t Live Here, a reclusive mother moves her daughter to a sanatorium-turned-apartment complex for some privacy, that is until a dead body turns up. In Christina Li’s The Manor of Dreams, a family gathers for the reading of the will of their reclusive but formerly trailblazing actress relative, in hopes that they inherit the mansion she left behind, but something far more sinister than their estrangement lurks in the halls. Moderated by Tobias Carroll, author of In The Sight.
