"A puppet is a possession that possesses the possessor."
Grady Hendrix, you son of a gun, you did it again!
I've loved everything I've read of Hendrix's work. Everything he touches is gold and I think "How To Sell A Haunted House" is the best yet.
This story is so much more than a haunted/possessed puppet/house/family. This is a story of family grief and the generational ramifications of burying unresolved trauma.
In true Hendrix form, he tells this story with vivacious emotions and with vivid sensory detail. Mix all that with dynamic story telling and a bit of twisted humor and you have yourself this incredibly delicious novel.
I just finished it and I already want to read it again.
⚠️Warning: read with a box of tissues. I cried so many times throughout this book. It's real and raw and riveting.
