Welcome to the neighborhood
NEXT DOOR
: one woman swims, and one gets ready for bed. A boy impresses his brothers, crown upon his head. An old lady cleans her kitchen as voices call a children's rhyme. Somewhere down your street, a wooden box arrives. Horses cry and ink is spilled. Bookstores. Dentist drills. Right next door-- slightly chilled. Award winning writer Kimberly Davis Basso turns her attention to twelve tales of dark fiction and one true story in an evocative collection of quiet horror and suspense. Next Door is an eerie, beautiful mix of supernatural thrills, nightmares, and literary short stories.
