About this listen

A darkly gothic thriller from best-selling author Sarah Gailey.

'Come home.' Vera's mother called and Vera obeyed. In spite of their long estrangement, in spite of the memories—she's come back to the home of a serial killer. Back to face the love she had for her father and the bodies he buried there, beneath the house he'd built for his family.

Coming home is hard enough for Vera, and to make things worse, she and her mother aren't alone. A parasitic artist has moved into the guest house out back and is slowly stripping Vera's childhood for spare parts. He insists that he isn't the one leaving notes around the house in her father's handwriting...but who else could it possibly be?

There are secrets yet undiscovered in the foundations of the notorious Crowder House. Vera must face them and find out for herself just how deep the rot goes.

Gripped me and kept me intrigued.

Quite an intriguingly dark book. I don't tend to like entity-type novels, more real-life and believable happenings but this was done in a very clever way which made me feel creeped out (in a good way) for a lot of the book! interesting father/daughter relationship is portrayed.

Nearly perfect

I’ll start by saying that the audiobook performance is flawless. The novel itself is almost flawless, too. My only real issue with it is that the protagonist falls a little flat. She’s not likeable or even hateable enough to be interesting, she’s just… there. Like a necessary conduit for all of the interesting stuff to unfold around. That being said, I was fully gripped and couldn’t wait for my next listening session. Truly a phenomenal horror novel that made me feel icky in the best sort of way.

An interesting take on a the haunted house trope

Really enjoyed this. The story was interesting and held my attention. I kind of knew what was going on at times but I was supposed to and this never took away from the actual horror. There are a lot of genuinely creepy moments too. Would recommend this one. Great audiobook!

Interesting Unfolding Story

Gripping story, interesting mind of the character and even when you think you have an idea of where it is going, it still managed to surprise.
