The Horror Life, by Ian Rogers (Letterboxd)
Very excited to have the opportunity to discuss the 10 horror movies that influenced my writing over on Letterboxd!
Every House Is Haunted
The award-winning collection of dark fiction by Ian Rogers
Every House Is Haunted
SOON TO BE A FEATURE FILM FROM SAM RAIMI
"Ian is a fantastic storyteller of horror. He has an ability to create a unique reading experience with great scares and memorable characters. I knew the moment I finished reading Every House Is Haunted that Ian was someone I wanted to work with."
— Sam Raimi
In this brilliant debut collection, Ian Rogers explores the border-places between our world and the dark reaches of the supernatural. A mysterious double murder draws the attention of an insurance company with a special interest in the paranormal. A honeymoon cabin with an unspeakable appetite finally meets its match. A suburban home is transformed into the hunting ground for a new breed of spider. A nightmarish jazz club at the crossroads of reality plays host to those who can break a deal with the devil... for a price. With remarkable deftness, Rogers draws together the deadly and the disturbing in twenty-two showcase stories that will guide you through terrain at once familiar and startlingly fresh.

ORDER NOW!What Reviewers Are Saying
“…the 22 stories in Rogers’s debut collection demonstrate the author’s talent for finding the terrifying in the seemingly ordinary… This work of classic horror in the style of Shirley Jackson, Richard Matheson, and early Stephen King should attract fans of a more refined kind of horror.”
Library Journal
“Ian Rogers’ stories are old-fashioned in the very best sense: classic thrillers in the spirit of Shirley Jackson and Richard Matheson. Every House Is Haunted is full of well-crafted, satisfying twists, a fine companion for any reader of literate horror.”
Andrew Pyper, author of LOST GIRLS and THE DEMONOLOGIST
