How to Sell a Haunted House

4.5 ⭐️

i don't even know where to begin with this. How to Sell a Haunted House is first and foremost an exploration of grief that i found incredibly poignant just 3 months out from my own experience with the death of a parent. had this come into my life at any other time, i have no idea how i would feel about it. but this was the most seen i'd felt since my loss, even though my relationship with my family is much different than Louise's.

in addition to its heart wrenching relatability, this was so fucking scary. i was losing my mind over these puppets and everything that was occurring around this family. somewhere around the 75% mark i found myself wondering how there was so much left of the book, then turned the page and almost yelped out loud at its contents.

my only other experience with Hendrix was My Best Friend's Exorcism, which i did not enjoy and did not find scary. i'm so glad that i managed to mesh well with this book's contents and i look forward to trying some more of his work now!
