“The House In The Middle Of The Street”

“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.”

There once was a house and it sat in the middle of a simple and quaint treelined street…..A beautiful woman named Rebecca lived in this house with her faithfully devoted husband and their new born daughter. They were happy and they were proud.

The house had originally belonged to a Great Great Aunt of Rebecca's named Minerva. She lived in the house all the days of her life and she died there, on the very last night of the year. In her final earthly wishes, Minerva bequeath the house to her next of kin and all of its belongings, including a golden sealed letter reading "Instruction for the Keeper of the House," to be given to whomever took legal ownership of it. None of her next of kin came forward to claim the house.

Some neighbors speculated that the relatives passed on such a beautiful home because of the rumored hauntings attached to it; the wild sobs of a young woman heard through the winter winds as the year closed, coupled by a sturdy knocking at the front door that emanated onto the street.
