I listened to the audiobook version of this, narrated by Mikhaila Aasent and Jay Aeseng. Great new entry into the haunted dolls / puppets sub-genre of horror and a perfect candidate for Hollywood. One thing is certain, you will come away from this with an inability to sit in a room with puppets without keeping an eye on them, and if someone was to slip in behind you in that room and holler COCKAWEEWEE you’d never sleep again. But do they know why? The family has secrets, and everyone believes they know what they are… but do they? The two are estranged and have fought all their lives. Siblings with very different memories of a life lived together, puppets and dolls and squirrels – yes, that’s relevant – all play parts in both versions of a past that leads to places far darker and more twisted than anyone involved could individually conceive.Ĭhildren of a mother who ran a “puppet ministry,” Mark and Louise find themselves drawn together to deal with their parent’s sudden deaths in a traffic accident.

As with most of Grady Hendrix’s books, the real story is in the lives, memories, minds and history of the characters.

How to Sell a Haunted House, while actually covering the topic in the title, is much, much more than a real-estate guide.
