Free In-Person Event · Brooklyn Book Launch for Leila Taylor's Sick Houses: Haunted Homes and the Architecture of Dread

  • Barrows’s Intense Tasting Room 86 34th Street Brooklyn, NY, 11232 United States (map)

Join us for the launch of Leila Taylor’s new book, Sick Houses Haunted Homes and the Architecture of Dread! From family homes in Amityville to Gothic mansions in Los Angeles and the Unabomber’s cabin, houses often capture and contain the horror that has happened within them. Sick Houses crosses the threshold of these eerie spaces to explore how different types of architecture become vessels for terror and how these spaces, meant to shelter us, instead become the source of our deepest fears. Using film, television, and literature to explain why we are drawn to haunted and haunting places, Sick Houses is a must read for anyone who has ever looked at a house and sensed there might be something unsettling going on inside.
