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.
