The Devil’s Domicile. The notoriously infamous house is just one of the hot spots that cultists, freaks, and other assorted malcontents visit in Gravenfrost, Maine. Founded on ground so tainted it was said to be vomited up from the sea itself, Gravenfrost isn’t your average sleepy New England town.

Zelenyj might be the best and least-known short story writer. His brand of strange, weird short stories extends well beyond the Canadian borders of his home country and connects far and wide with the characters and plots.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from this collection, but each short story resonated, and I felt compelled to discover each new world he’d created.
