Jennifer Sklias-Gahan Author Of The House in the Middle of the Street

From my list on tales that conjure up haunting atmospheres with twisted narratives.

By Jennifer Sklias-Gahan Author

Why am I passionate about this?

As a child, growing up in New York as a first generation Greek-American, my family believed in the power of storytelling. My family embraced both classic Greek mythology and village folklore as words to live by. I learned how transformative storytelling can be. It transformed me as a child, finding solace in freedom in reading, and formed the foundation for my career as an actress and writer.

My new book, The House in the Middle of the Street, is my winter Gothic tale about a house, its occupants, and a yearly visit made by a boy and a girl on New Year’s Eve. It's a setting where magic and myth rule. The stories below spoke to me about the mystery that surrounds us all.

Jennifer Sklias-Gahan Why Jennifer loves this book

This is one of my favorite stories from Gaiman who I absolutely revere.

His style is a perfect whimsical blend of mythological fairy tales with the insightful science fiction grit and truth-telling of Rod Sterling’s "Twilight Zone” tales. 

This particular story of Gaiman’s ushered me into this world with its poetic rhythm. A man returns to his childhood home and meets a girl named Lettie and her family. It felt like I stepped into a world where all things are possible, a homecoming is at hand, filled with the threat of danger and the loss of self. As the man remembers his past, he travels through time and crosses between our world and a darker one that brings terror as well as an understanding and protection.

It’s a beautiful story that informs my writing and deepens my love for a modern fairy tale.
