I've read a couple of other of Hendrix's books and usually I see more comedy that balances out the horror. How to Sell a Haunted House had moments where I could feel my heart racing from terror. And I don't even really find puppets, dolls, or clowns scary.
Hendrix did an amazing job with this story. This story about grief and about family and about secrets. Highly recommend anyone looking for a good horror book!

i tried to force myself to stop reading this book after dark (because i kept getting scared) but i was so drawn to reading this book at all hours of the day that i failed miserably.
i loved that this book was goofy while also scaring the shit out of me and making me cringe
this book was much better than the other grady hendrix book i read (the final girl support group) which i did not enjoy. i 100% see how this one almost beat stephen king to the 2023 goodreads choice award for horror. i felt like i was really in the house with mark and louise, and the interludes in other locations (ESPECIALLY WAFFLE HOUSE) were so well written and immersive.
i highly recommend this book.

If you can make it through the beginning, it definitely worth the read.
