When this affective power endures, a place is said to be \"haunted.\" When this energy for good or evil continues-especially when it touches people who were not involved in the primary circumstance which occurred in that location-then a place is considered alive. Places, then, may serve as portals through which a person can enter into the past, both psychically and physically; moreover, the effects of a place upon a person may influence what happens going forward. Places are causes, and they are effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne's home is a special Place, and yet even your home may be infused with doubtful associations. At the end of a stressful day at work, you may want to run home-to the house that functions as a harbor, shelter, or castle; on the other hand, a home is sometimes a place to run away from, a cage or a trap. Perhaps the best we can do is hope that we live in a benevolent house.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eShunned Houses\u003c\/em\u003e delves into that larger realm through more than three dozen classic and contemporary short stories, poems, and essays by masters of the craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katherine Kerestman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1962218597\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781962218597\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wordcrafts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.73d","brand":"Katherine Kerestman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47087713747199,"sku":"9781962218597","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c50d8c1c-4fa4-4dd2-b939-5f203b67a4f5.jpg?v=1753850587","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shunned-houses-katherine-kerestman-9781962218597","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
