Gareth Is Haunted's Reviews > How to Sell a Haunted House

Grady Hendrix treats us to an incredible slice of campy modern horror. A wild, creepy and yet touching read which left me almost lost for words.

'Every childhood home is haunted, and each of us are possessed by our parents.'

I'm already a huge fan of Grady Hendrix and this new novel has exceeded all my expectations of his work. Hendrix has a knack for making the most mundane of day-to-day actions or observations into something sinister or amusing. I had moments where I didn't know whether to laugh, cry or be scared out of my skin.
Although many of the events in this book are utterly outrageous they still have a grounding in the real world and are so relatable, especially when it comes to our families and childhood memories.
The writing, characters and interactions between characters were so bold, rich, vivid and full of life that you could have believed that these characters and events were real.

'You know, Louise, her dad said, statistically, and there's a lot of variance in these numbers, but in general, from a strictly scientific point of view, everything turns out okay an improbable number of times.'

I have been very conscious not to leave any kind of spoilers or even a synopsis in my review. I believe this book is best experienced without knowing too much about it. That said, I suppose the title itself may give you an idea.
I could not rate this title any more highly, this book has something for everyone.

Move over Annabelle, move over Chucky, Pupkin is the new pretender to the crown!

Thank you to Titan Books and Netgalley for providing me with an ARC copy for review.
