What this book is about
Louise flies home to settle her parents' estate and is shocked to find her brother Mark has moved into their childhood home and refuses to sell. But the real surprise is the house itself — which seems angry, alive, and hostile. Grady Hendrix's horror comedy excavates sibling estrangement, parental grief, and childhood religious trauma through the lens of a deeply creepy puppetry-themed haunting.
