by Grady Hendrix
Buy on Amazon
When Louise finds out her parents have died, she dreads going home. She doesn’t want to leave her daughter with her ex and fly to Charleston. She doesn’t want to deal with her family home, stuffed to the rafters with the remnants of her father’s academic career and her mother’s lifelong obsession with puppets and dolls. She doesn’t want to learn how to live without the two people who knew and loved her best in the world. Most of all, she doesn’t want to deal with her brother, Mark, who never left their hometown, gets fired from one job after another, and resents her success. Unfortunately, she’ll need his help to get the house ready for sale because it’ll take more than some new paint on the walls and clearing out a lifetime of memories to get this place on the market.…

"I always look forward to Grady Hendrix’s next book, and this one was another pleasure to read. After the death of her parents, Louise heads home to prepare their house for sale with the help – or lack of help – of her deadbeat brother, Mark. But there’s something waiting in that house for the next generation to come and it doesn’t want them to go. It takes a turn from the horror genre I thought we were in, but was still very enjoyable."
"When Louisa’s parents are killed in a car crash, she returns to her hometown of Charleston, South Carolina, to deal with their affairs. But when it comes to selling the beloved family home, it’s not just sibling rivalry that she has to worry about. A spooky story about complicated families in the American South from the author of The Final Girl Support Group , described by The New York Times as a “gripping, wildly entertaining exploration of childhood horrors.”"
