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\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 326\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.88 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 01, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42150821691527,"sku":"9781962218580","price":47.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/053dabe74627a3e5a54ce846fa92ab47.webp?v=1733202543","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/shunned-houses-an-anthology-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
