Publisher Description

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"Wildly entertaining."-The New York Times

"Ingenious."-The Washington Post

New York Times bestselling author Grady Hendrix takes on the haunted house in a thrilling new novel that explores the way your past—and your family—can haunt you like nothing else.
 
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.
 
But some houses don’t want to be sold, and their home has other plans for both of them…
 
Like his novels The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires and The Final Girl Support Group, How to Sell a Haunted House is classic Hendrix: equal parts heartfelt and terrifying—a gripping new read from “the horror master” (USA Today).

Thinking Face“UGH. i hated this book but also really liked it at the same time so i’m conflicted. let’s start with the cons. i felt it was really drawn out, the storyline was all over the place, and when it got to the end not all of my questions were answered. the pros are that it’s very descriptive, the characters are well thought out, and there are some good spooky scenes for sure. it’s not super scary, granted i’m used to splatter-punk books so maybe that’s why it’s not super scary. but i think the author did a good job of writing it and i’ll definitely add that it’s weird and way different than what you expect going into it. i would give it a read but prepare to be thrown a curveball. ✨3/5✨”

Surprised Face with Open Mouth“This book had some great, terrifying scenes and I felt like this book would be so much fun as a movie. My biggest complaint was with unanswered questions. Towards the end of the book, we learn what the big bad is. But the author doesn't explain how certain things come to life or where certain powers come from. This house definitely is haunted, but I'm still not sure how. It was such a fun story of evil puppets, but it was also too outlandish. I also really like how feel for family in this book, as unhealthy as it could be at times.”

Surprised Face with Open Mouth“What a wild ride this book was lol. It's lengthy so prepare for that, it could've been a bit shorter in my opinion. Overall I did enjoy it and this being the second book I read by Grady Hendrix I can't pinpoint if I'm in love with his writing style or not.”

Expressionless Face“I cannot even begin to explain how much I loathed this book. I gave up 75% of the way in because I truly just could not take it anymore. The most bizarre storyline that just would 👏🏻 not 👏🏻 end 👏🏻.”
Bad writing
Surprised Face with Open Mouth“The title is misleading, as the house itself wasn’t haunted. BUT, definitely a intriguing premise on a haunting! Although the two main characters weren’t very likable at first, as the story delves into WHY and HOW things came to be, you get a much better understanding as to where the pain came from that caused the demonic occurrences. Glad I read it, and am going to look for more titles from this author.”
