The Good House by Tananarive Due
4.0

CRITICALLY UNDERRATED.

Honestly, I think horror explores family better than any other genre. The switching perspectives of seemingly mild interactions between Miles (a teenager) and (Angela) his mother, were honestly beautiful. Well-described and honest. The ideas of inherited guilt, trauma, and burden are wonderfully woven throughout.

Its a slow build horror/mystery and its one no one should skip.
