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).

Editorial Review

Reckoning with ghosts—paranormal and otherwise
When I was young, I amassed a number of dolls: Whether porcelain, plastic, or rag, I spent many a playdate with my inanimate pals. But as I got older, my stance on the little guys soured. After all, their unchanging expressions and beady eyes—some blinking lazily under articulated lids, others disturbingly motionless—seemed at best an exercise in the uncanny valley and, at worse, a vacant shell ripe for possession. It seems targeted, then, that in-house favorite Grady Hendrix, a master of camp and nostalgia-driven horror, would spin a haunted house yarn laden with spooky dolls and their even creepier counterpart: puppets. Wielding the flair of infamous ghost stories, the fun of retro staples like Child’s Play, the atmospheric dread of gothic horror, and a heartfelt humanity all its own, this dual-narrated gem is both a dose of nightmare fuel and a meditation on how trauma and family secrets haunt those left behind. —Alanna M., Audible Editor

Loved this. I was thoroughly entertained the entire duration of this audio book. It was insane, clever, very creepy, gory, macabre and wildly fun. Didn’t know where the author was headed. I’ve read most of his books and have enjoyed watching his style mature. A+ Fun.

I’m not gonna lie. When a friend told me about this book, I thought interesting, but surely it couldn’t be that scary. I was wrong. I made the mistake of reading well in to the night when my husband was out of town. Big mistake. The story itself was unique and surprisingly really good. I thought it would be cheesy after just beginning the book, but I was definitely wrong. Also - when you think you’re reaching the end - think again! Unexpected twists & turns! Great read! Recommend for anyone needing a creepy read!

Don’t read at night!

I've read a lot of horror novels but this is by far the most chilling and satisfying horror story I have read in a very long time. Not only was the creeping terror of the story continuously ratcheted up throughout but it somehow performed the even more difficult feat of ending in a satisfying manner, which is even more rare. Highly recommended!

Chilling and satisfying horror!

I thoroughly looked forward to my audiobook time with this story. From the first chapter I was hooked, and I really liked the different twists and turns this story took. I didn’t expect to cry at the end, but the themes of grief and family trauma echoed strongly and it pulled at the heart strings. The horror in this story was very, very good and not predictable. That’s one thing I appreciate so much about this author. He went all out with the creepy dolls/puppets in this book.

So good!
