Credenza by Wendy Dalrymple
4.0

A woman inherits an antique credenza after the death of her grandmother. Strange occurrences start happening in her home, in addition to an equally peculiar man offering her a staggering amount for the piece of furniture.

Veronica, a relatable figure with a chaotic family life, is at the heart of this story. She struggles with the loss of her grandmother while navigating the challenges of single parenthood. This isn’t your typical in-your-face horror story. The subtle horrors of daily life, juxtaposed with the mysteries and terrors brought by the credenza, create a complex narrative.

I wish there had been more focus on the group behind the credenza and the group charged with protecting it. I wanted to read more about their story.

I enjoyed this story and could recommend it to pink horror fans. This was the first book I read by Wendy Dalrymple, but I’ll be checking out more of her books!

Thanks to NetGalley and Quill & Crow Publishing House for the digital copy. All opinions are my own.
