  • Mexican Gothic
  • The Silent Companions
  • The Only Good Indians

Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoyed Mexican Gothic or The Silent Companions and want a haunted house story that plays with what's real and what's inherited trauma.
  • You love unreliable narrators and the slow-burn dread of watching someone's carefully constructed life unravel from the inside out.
  • You appreciate horror that's genuinely funny in places, with a protagonist who runs on Instagram aesthetics and denial.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need a straightforward jump-scare experience. This book is unsettling and creeping rather than outright terrifying.
  • You prefer clear answers about whether supernatural events actually happened. The ambiguity is the whole point.
  • You want a redemption arc for the main character. Clio is selfish and self-deceiving, and she stays that way for most of the book.

About this book

Clio Louise Barnes is a stylist and influencer living what appears to be a picture-perfect life, but she carries a secret from childhood: her mother moved her and her sisters into a house she claimed was possessed by a demon. After their parents' divorce, Clio's mother Alex insisted the house was occupied, and even wrote a book about the experience. The courts later removed the children from Alex's custody, and her account was disputed by Clio's sisters. When Alex dies suddenly, the house passes to Clio and her sisters. While her siblings see only childhood trauma, Clio views it as an opportunity for home renovation content. As she begins the makeover and reads her mother's book, Clio encounters evidence that her mother's claims may have had merit. A sinister presence emerges in the house, bringing back buried memories and revealing truths that threaten to unravel Clio's carefully constructed life.
