Summary
"Five novellas of horror and speculative fiction from the New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box: 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 he 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"--
