In the aftermath of death, those left behind must deal with a lot of practical things on top of the emotional turmoil. She has no plans to go back home, but when she learns her parents have died in an accident, she must put everything aside, leave her daughter with her ex, and travel home. Now she's an adult, has her own daughter, and rarely talks to her estranged brother, who still lives back in Charleston. Growing up, Louise wanted to move far from home because her mother was hard to deal with, and she felt like her brother was her parents' favorite and got everything handed to him while she had to work for things. His latest, How to Sell a Haunted House, fully embraces all the elements readers have come to love about what he does.Ĭampy, unexpectedly deep - and as creepy as the dead eyes of a puppet at midnight in a gloomy room - How to Sell a Haunted House is a tense, dark novel that looks at family trauma and a life-long sibling rivalry while also delivering a heaping serving of demonic puppets, violence, and even undead squirrels. Grady Hendrix's work occupies a unique interstitial space between emotional storytelling, unnerving, gory horror, and a dash of comedy.
