Once in a Haunted House is a new independent magazine devoted to ghosts, hauntings, and the uncanny life of places. This first issue brings together original fiction, essays, reviews, and artwork that take seriously the idea that landscapes remember, and that buildings, streets, and rooms can exert a presence of their own.
Inside you will find literary ghost stories, hauntological essays, psychogeographic wanderings, reflections on haunted bookshops and churches, and reviews that favour atmosphere over spectacle. Every piece is rooted in place — Suffolk lanes, Yorkshire moorland, Bloomsbury stone, New York streets, and imagined towns weighted with history. The emphasis is on the quietly unsettling: the sense that something has happened here, or is about to happen, and that the ground under your feet is not quite neutral.
Once in a Haunted House is produced to support writers and artists while offering readers something thoughtful and absorbing. It is for readers who prefer their supernatural grounded, intelligent, and lingering long after the page is turned.
