House
Dark House, subtitled "stories compiled by the master of the macabre," is an anthology of horror stories for young adults edited by Gary Crew.

What is it about old houses that stirs the imagination?  Is it the presence of the house itself?  Its shuttered windows; its gaping doors ... the long dark tunnel of its hall?

Includes stories by Carmel Bird, Isobelle Carmody, Gary Crew, Garry Disher, Marion Halligan, Victor Kelleher, Peter Lawrance, David McRobbie, James Moloney, Philip Nielsen, Jenny Pausacker, Gillian Rubinstein and Arnold Zable.
