SOLVED. missing postmen and a house that moves [s]

[Muriel]

Hi, I am having alot of trouble remembering a story I once read. The story is about a mailman who moves to a new city for a new job. This particular town has had as many as three mailmen in as many months. No one knew what happened to the missing mailmen. Well the new mailman soon encounters a house on his route that he doesn't want to go near. It is the last house on a dead end street. Every day that he sees the house it appears to be getting smaller and smaller. I remember that he discovers that the mailmen all disappear because of this house, which leads me too think that he lives in this house, as all the previous ones have done. At the end the mailman disappears with the house.

So this was a short story, not a novel or a novella? What year did you read it? Where did you read it - anthology, online, etc?

That does sound kind of familiar - the kind of thing that Alfred Bester or William Tenn (or Robert Sheckley?) might do. If I think of where I read it, I'll let you know.

It was part of anthology. It's been within the last 3 years. It was a physical book.

Muriel, are you still looking for this work which is in an anthology, or have you found it?

It looks like she (or some other Muriel) has: http://whatwasthatbook.livejournal.co...
