Grady Hendrix knocked it out of the park with this title! I'm a long-time lover of their works and this one is peak horror! When Louise receives a phone call from her estranged brother about her parents' fatal accident, she packs up and flies home to settle their affairs. Unfortunately, their affairs are about as unsettled as they can get and Louise and Mark must battle their own issues, generational trauma, and family secrets to get back to their normal lives. 

Normal is overrated and paranormal is par for the course. Creepy dolls, sinister puppets, an abandoned house, and disconnected reality all come to play in this delightfully disturbing take on a haunted house story. Grady Hendrix doesn't disappoint and it's a must-read for anyone dealing with loss - loss of a loved one, loss of innocence, and loss of control. Grab for your favorite stuffed animal, dim the lights, and don't look behind you!
