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).

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Grady Hendrix’s horror novels are a gateway drug to the genre...By weaving violence, family trauma and humor, Hendrix creates a texture that engages the reader emotionally and viscerally…[a] gripping, wildly entertaining exploration of childhood horrors.” —The New York Times

“It's tempting to point out the balance of horror and humor here, and the commingling of the two really is something else, but the true power behind How to Sell a Haunted House is in its emotionality, the sister-brother dynamic, the family matters. It's life and death in the childhood home, and Hendrix has masterfully rendered the journey from one end to the other.” —Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box and Daphne

“A spirited nightmare story about death, but also, what comes after: grief, guilt, family secrets, and estate administration. Oh, also, did I mention the evil puppets?" —Chuck Wendig, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Accidents

Insidious Puppet Fun!!

"Pupkin here! Pupkin here! Everybody laugh! Everybody cheer!"


Pupkin, you adorable murderous little creep!!! I had so much fun with this one, it sucks you in and you just have to see how far this possessed puppet will go. Hendrix has yet to fail in my eyes and this book is just another darkly beautiful little feather in his cap!

This is why he’s one of my favorite authors

Grady Hendrix knocked it out of the park again! This was such an amazing story. The twist, the spookiness, just everything was perfect as usual with his work!

Really good

I was infatuated with the characters and plot. It kept me interested all the way by ramping up in action and horror. good performance wish the voice actor for Mark had more time.

Way scarier than I expected.

Listening at night doesn’t help, but be prepared to have nightmares of puppets jumping onto your bed! The voice actor did great and the story was enthralling.

Velveteen Rabbit / Puppet Master

I have been having a difficult time getting into books lately, but I think this one got me out of my slump. It's ridiculously entertaining. A loving (somewhat dysfunctional) family has a secret that goes back 70 years and a mother has to fight to protect her young daughter from heartbreaking horror of it. Add in some sibling rivalry and Lord of the Flies. I may listen to this one a second time. 👍

Great Scary Haunted Story

Can’t wait to read more books from this author. Listened to this book every morning when it was dark and cold such great spooky vibes.

I liked the story

The story is good and the narration is well done. I listened to the entire book in two days, during a snowstorm so no work or school. It kept my attention and it was pretty creepy. The family issues ran deep and the exploration of that was okay. Most of the people in the story had flaws and were so stubborn, that irritates me but all in all a decent book.

Not what I expected!

I absolutely loved this book. The narrators did a phenomenal job. I was so into the story, reality faded away. The characters feel very real. I found it quite scary at certain points, while incredibly sad at others. If you’ve ever had a fear of puppets or dolls, this will definitely creep you out!

This is a super book

I really enjoyed this book. The performance of the narrators is wonderful. The story was out of this world, and I thought it was a fantastic, scary, funny, and entertaining story. I'm about to buy Grady Hendrex's other books.

Grady Hendrix doesn’t disappoint!

This book was so good! I couldn’t stop listening! It gave me Chucky/Gothika/Dead Silence vibes.
