Robert Marasco is best known for horror fiction that places ordinary families inside increasingly hostile domestic spaces. Burnt Offerings follows Ben and Marian Rolfe after they rent a large summer house at an unusually low price, only to find the property changing as the family weakens and the unseen owner exerts a disturbing pull. The novel turns renovation, privacy and the desire for a better home into sources of dread rather than comfort. Marasco also wrote the play Child's Play, set in a boys' school where unexplained violence spreads among students and staff. His work fits haunted-house horror, psychological horror and 1970s supernatural fiction. Read more Less
