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 tells her little brother that HALF THE HOUSE IS HAUNTED with a presence that only she can see, but is it her own mind that is haunted?

In ARGYLE a dying man confesses to crimes he never committed, and reveals long-kept secrets far more sinister than murder.

A tourist takes the ultimate trip to outer space in JUPITER DROP but the real journey is into his own dark past.

In DOUG AND JUDY BUY THE WASHER, a trendy married couple buys the latest home gadget only to find themselves trapped by the out-of-control machine... and each other.

And in EGOROV, a set of Russian triplets is devastated when one of the brothers is murdered; but will vengeance heal their pain?
