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).

Its not easy to interweave horror with a moving story without it seeming absurd. So I admire it all the more how Grady Hendrix manages to pull me into his books again and again and making me wish I could experience them all over again. Hendrix manages to bring his storys, the characters and the atmosphere to life. It made me feel so many things, everything from anger to empathy for the characters. Highly exciting, frightening and unpredictable storytelling round it all off - definitely one of Hendrix best works and for all fans of entertaining horror a must-read!
Der Titel passt nicht wirklich zur Geschichte

Spoilerfree: Ich hab den Titel gelesen und das Cover gesehen und mir das Buch direkt gekauft. Aktuell gibt es das Buch nur auf Englisch, es lässt sich super einfach lesen also keine Scheu. Was ich erwartet habe bei dem Titel? Gruselige Zimmer, alte Treppen, Geister und Monster, klassische Horror House Vibes, aber das habe ich nicht bekommen. Durch die Mitte des Buches musste ich mich richtig durch peitschen, denn irgendwie passiert auch nicht wirklich was. Nichts ist wirklich überraschend, alles ist recht vorhersehbar. Der Titel passt hier leider nicht wirklich zur Geschichte. Wer einfach mal wieder ein Buch auf englisch lesen möchte, mit ein bisschen spooky flair, go for it. Wer lust auf echten Horror und Spannung hat, sucht sich vllt einen andere Titel.
