Be aware that this novel deals with toxic masculinity, ritual cults and sacrifices, child as easy targets for eldritch abominations, violence with tools and appliances, emasculation, workplace violence, trauma from the destruction of a sibling’s mental capacities, and the dissolution of the nuclear family.shawcrit's review

Prepare to be disturbed, chuckle, raise your eyebrows in shock, and perhaps grossed out by The Handyman Method!
Thank you to Simon & Schuster Canada for my eARC for review.
Authors Nick Cutter and Andrew F. Sullivan take readers into an entirely different house of horrors.
It's a new build that Trent, wife Rita, and son Milo have recently moved into. The place is a bit of a lemon, and Trent embarks on fixing the house's issues himself - with the help of a random set of YouTube videos from Handyman Hank.
But it's not only ghosts that can haunt a house. What Trent finds are not really anything we've ever seen. There's some uniquely unsettling imagery created here. Though a different setting, I definitely felt some vibes of The Shining.
If your spooky reading season has already started, or it takes place year-round like mine - recommended!
Released on Aug. 8.
Moderate: Violence, Gore, and Animal death
