Currently Reading: How to Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix

[orangerful]

Sometimes I take the risk of putting a popular book on hold and try my best to get through it in the 3-week checkout period. And how could I resist a title like this – How to Sell a Haunted House? (Plus, I read ‘The Final Girl Support Group’ last year and really enjoyed it!)

Lots of spooky vibes going blended with some family drama. Like so many good ghost stories, the protagonist is clueless at the start, convincing herself that the TV magically turned on and that the creepy puppet just fell off the shelf.

She did just have the realtor (who is also her cousin - there is some small town drama too) tell her the house is haunted and she refuses to sell it. There were...noises in the attack which appears to have been nailed shut in a very haphazard manner, as though her parents were scared to go up there.

There was already an earlier chapter that made it hard for me to fall asleep after I read it - it wouldn't have been so bad but the scary thing happened while she was asleep and it wakes her up...

Anyway, about to dive back in and see what spookiness awaits! Hopefully the story and the scares can be sustained over the 400 pages (I have about 300 left, I think). I will report back!

Oh, I'll have to put this on hold. I really liked The Final Girl Support Group!

I did too! It was just the right mix of dark humor and horror. I read a couple more chapters and this book might be scarier...but that might also be because puppets and dolls are inherently scarier than anything else LOL

That title! Now I want to read it.

I haven't heard of either of these books, now I'm very curious about The Final Girl Support Group - sounds right up my alley! :D

'Final Girl Support Group' is a LOT of fun, especially if you're a fan of horror. Heck, I'm only a casual fan, I have most of my knowledge from playing Dead by Daylight, but I still found all the killers in the book to be great homages to the famous ones. But it's a great mix of dark humor and horror.

Oh I really like Grady Hendrix, I've got this one from him on hold already and I'm eager for it to come in. How did you like this one overall?
