Note: This is my intended "final" list for "the house" motif in Horror 101 for Tales To Terrify. I may have to shorten this list, or I may eliminate some books if it turns out that themes and tales are simply becoming a little repetitive, or I may have to remix, combine, or perhaps cook up more than Horror 101 episode over the summer, because this is DEFINITELY turning into a life's work. Also, many of these books I've already read in the course of my own personal pursuits.
