The Horror Life, by Ian Rogers (Letterboxd)
Very excited to have the opportunity to discuss the 10 horror movies that influenced my writing over on Letterboxd!
The award-winning collection of dark fiction by Ian Rogers
In this brilliant debut collection, Ian Rogers explores the border-places between our world and the dark reaches of the supernatural. A mysterious double murder draws the attention of an insurance company with a special interest in the paranormal. A honeymoon cabin with an unspeakable appetite finally meets its match. A suburban home is transformed into the hunting ground for a new breed of spider. A nightmarish jazz club at the crossroads of reality plays host to those who can break a deal with the devil...for a price. With remarkable deftness, Rogers draws together the deadly and the disturbing in twenty-two showcase stories that will guide you through terrain at once familiar and startlingly fresh. With an introduction by Paul Tremblay.

Netflix has landed Every House is Haunted, a script by Jason Pagan & Andrew Deutschman that will be directed by Corin Hardy, helmer of The Nun and Gangs of London.
…the 22 stories in Rogers’s debut collection demonstrate the author’s talent for finding the terrifying in the seemingly ordinary… This work of classic horror in the style of Shirley Jackson, Richard Matheson, and early Stephen King should attract fans of a more refined kind of horror.
…the author’s facility with character and atmosphere makes for some provocative journeys into the dark and the frankly weird… I would be very curious to read a full-length novel from Rogers that provides a fantastic premise and proceeds to fully explore its consequences.
