Why read it?

2 authors picked Incidents Around the House as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Holy snap, I loved this book! I read and write so much horror that it's quite difficult to unsettle me, but that's exactly what INCIDENTS AROUND THE HOUSE did. I came into it cold, unfamiliar with the premise and format, and WOW. What a creepy little book with both heartwarming and heart-wrenching content. I cared deeply for the little girl and her well-being. It was written so well that I could see it play out cinematically. It's my favorite book of the year thus far. Highly recommended.

The unique choice to write the POV from a young child's perspective made the horror more horrifying. I recommend listening to the audiobook to really amp the experience.
