Home by Ben Young
Easily a five star read.⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️
“Death can invade any home.
The town of Oak Hollow, Ohio is dying. Jobs are scarce, crime is rampant, and the authorities aren't helping. But, when the infamous haunted house on Asher Street is quickly converted to a funeral home, it appears something has come to pick clean the bones of this once-proud Midwestern town. Who is Lloyd Mnemic? Can his kindly offer of free funeral services be trusted?
If you were given the chance to speak to a deceased loved one, would you take it?
What if all it cost was a bit of your time?”
This was hands down one of the best books I’ve ever read. The way i felt for (most of) the character’s, made me so attached that i do think about one almost daily. It’s a book that kept me on my toes, creeped me out, made me laugh and cry (seriously), reminded me of my fear of dirt cellars, had me literally gag at one point.
Anyone whos worked with me knows it takes ALOT to gross me out in the prep room (embalmer). Well, this Fother mucker did it in less than a chapter. And- it’s not even gruesome / gory!
This book was also one of the only non-fiction stories with a funeral home as its main location, that was actually ACCURATE. I was genuinely impressed. Ben Young is a treasure, anyone who works in death care, needs to protect him at all costs!
So, go get it. Read it. Report back. Do it now!
