Welcome to
The House in the Middle of the Street
In The House in the Middle of the Street, Jennifer Skliás Gahan weaves a haunting modern fairytaIe of inheritance, secrets,
and the creatures we invite into our lives.
When Rebecca and her husband inherit a stately old home, they believe they've found the perfect place to build their family. But as the year turns and shadows lengthen, visitors begin to arrive-children who are not what they seem, hungry guests who demand more than bread. Bound by family history and ancient instructions, Rebecca and her descendants are drawn into a chilling cycle of debt, desire, and generational haunting.
With prose that moves like a spell and imagery as vivid as a fever dream, Skliás-Gahan conjures a dark winter tale that recalls the cautionary power of the Brothers Grimm, yet resonates with startling relevance. The House in the Middle of the Street is a story of legacy and survival, and a reminder to
be carefuI who you let in…
“Ms. Skliás-Gahan’s wonderful velvet voice narrates this fable using myths and metaphors to tell a story of two little children who visit the house in the middle of the street and nothing in that house is ever the same again.”
“Jennifer Skliás-Gahan writes and performs a darkly beautiful story that has the flavor of a Victorian gothic fairytale and the depth of Greek drama.”
