About this listen

Your past and your family can haunt you like nothing else… A hilarious and terrifying new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Final Girl Support Group.

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

When their parents die at the tail end of the coronavirus pandemic, Louise and Mark Joyner are devastated but nothing can prepare them for how bad things are about to get. The two siblings are almost totally estranged, and couldn't be more different. Now, however, they don't have a choice but to get along. The virus has passed, and both of them are facing bank accounts ravaged by the economic meltdown. Their one asset? Their childhood home. They need to get it on the market as soon as possible because they need the money. Yet before her parents died they taped newspaper over the mirrors and nailed shut the attic door.

Sometimes we feel like puppets, controlled by our upbringing and our genes. Sometimes we feel like our parents treat us like toys, or playthings, or even dolls. The past can ground us, teach us, and keep us safe. It can also trap us, and bind us, and suffocate the life out of us. As disturbing events stack up in the house, Louise and Mark have to learn that sometimes the only way to break away from the past, sometimes the only way to sell a haunted house, is to burn it all down.

Puppet on a string

this is the third book I have enjoyed from this author and each one has been delightful, this one how ever was the first one to completely take me by surprise and make me change my opinion on the characters.

Unexpectedly Good

I’ve read other Grady Hendrix book, one I really loved, one not so much. This one brought back the satisfaction from the first one I really enjoyed.
Plenty of gore, silly mistakes and a sense of a real, dysfunctional family figuring it all out.

A Novel Made for Audiobook

I loved this book. The estrangement of the siblings was palpable and really gave the novel an emotional core. Then it’s craft felt balls to the wall of supernatural horror and dread. The narrator is excellent - one of the best performances on audiobook. It’s scary, it’s funny, it’s absurd, it’s sad - it’s everything.

I’ve been shouting “kaka weewee!” around the house all week, much to my partner’s chagrin.

Unique, fun and creepy - a complete package!

Great characters, unique storyline & twists that kept me guessing. The description of location, vibe, and voices during each conversation were so detailed that I could picture everything in my head. Also, the narrator embodied each character really well.

I can totally see this as a movie! It would be so fun to see it only if it’s done right. My suggestion is to get into this book blind (don’t read too much into reviews) cause I did and it was a great rollercoaster ride!

original and darker than expected

well written original and effective story with some truly creepy elements.
The difficult infuriating and yet totally familiar relationship between the siblings was so well realised and created a strong emotional core to the book.
one of my favourite audio choices of the year.
