In The House in the Middle of the Street, Jennifer Sklias-Gahan weaves a haunting modern fairy tale 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, Sklias-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 careful who you let in.

Jennifer Sklias-Gahan grew up in New York City in a Greek-American household rich with folklore, myths, and oral traditions. Encouraged by her librarian as a child to retell her favorite stories, she discovered a lifelong passion for the transformative power of storytelling. She has since built a career as a writer, actor, and producer, and is the founder of Demivoula Studios and co-founder of 18 Bleecker Films. The House in the Middle of the Street is her debut work of fiction. She lives in New York with her husband and their two children.
