"There are haunted places in the world, all existing in reality and every bit as tangible and accessible as the house next door. Sometimes it is the house next door." In this brilliant debut collection, Ian Rogers explores the border-places between our world and the dark reaches of the supernatural. The landscape of death becomes the new frontier for scientific exploration. 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 disturbing and the diverting in twenty-two showcase stories that will guide you through terrain at once familiar and startlingly fresh.

Ian Rogers is a writer, artist, and photographer. His debut collection, Every House Is Haunted, was the winner of the 2013 ReLit Award in the Short Fiction category, while his novelette, "The House on Ashley Avenue," was nominated for the Shirley Jackson Award. He is the author of the Felix Renn series of supernatural-noirs, which have been collected in the book SuperNOIRtural Tales. Ian lives with his wife in Peterborough, Ontario.
"...His best stories resemble the work of Joss Whedon: contemporary fantasy in which quirky characters confront the uncanny with deadpan aplomb and an appealing degree of competence... I would be very curious to read a full-length novel from Rogers that provides a fantastic premise and proceeds to fully explore its consequences."
- Quill & Quire
"...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
"...nothing less than a brilliant short story collection... Every single story in this 300-page volume is a stand-out--so much so that it is impossible to choose a favorite. Or even several favorites. They all strongly remain with the reader days after turning the final page."
- Shroud Magazine
"...Rogers offers some real gems. Every House is Haunted is a harbinger of great things to come."
- San Francisco Book Review
"Ian Rogers' stories are old-fashioned in the very best sense: classic chillers 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, The Killing Circle, and The Guardians
