When Louise finds out her parents have died, she dreads going home. She doesn't want to leave her daughter with her ex and fly to Charleston. She doesn't want to deal with her family home, stuffed to the rafters with the remnants of her father's academic career and her mother's lifelong obsession with puppets and dolls. She doesn't want to learn how to live without the two people who knew and loved her best in the world.

Most of all, she doesn't want to deal with her brother, Mark, who never left their hometown, gets fired from one job after another, and resents her success. Unfortunately, she'll need his help to get the house ready for sale because it'll take more than some new paint on the walls and clearing out a lifetime of memories to get this place on the market.

But some houses don't want to be sold, and their home has other plans for both of them...

Excessivamente longo

Confesso que fui muito influenciado pelo título e esperava uma história de uma casa mal-assombrada ao grande estilo do gênero. O livro possui ótimas cenas de terror (algumas eu estava em completo estado de pânico). O tom ácido e as situações criadas são muito boas, mas num geral, senti que foi uma leitura morna e com mais pontos monótonos do que cenas em que fiquei realmente entretido. A história é focada muito na relação de perdão e luto enntre os protagonistas do que o terror em si, o que acabou impactando negativamente a leitura pra mim.
