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).Staff Reviews
We are coming up on the creepiest month of year which means it’s time to get cozy with a good spooky read! Even if horror isn’t your thing, you may still enjoy How to Sell a Haunted House. It not only creepy (we are talking about puppets in an empty house) but also has a bit of a silly side as well. Similar to eighties classic movies like Gremlins and Chucky, the author’s take on horror has a campy feel that makes his novel a fun literary ride!

If you’re looking for a gripping thriller that includes dolls, puppets, family drama and some laughter too, this book is an excellent choice. Set in Charleston, South Carolina, the story follows Louise as she returns home after the sudden death of her parents in a car accident. Amid her grief, Louise must also confront her estranged brother, Mark — a relationship strained by years of misunderstandings and unspoken resentment. As they struggle to reconcile and prepare their childhood home for sale, they quickly realize the house has its own unsettling agenda...
