“I’ll come right out and say it,’ Mercy told them. ‘Strange noises, bad vibes, your mom and dad recently passed— Your house is haunted and I’m not selling it until you deal with that.”

They would have a lifetime to adjust to each other’s new roles - a daughter becoming a mother, a mother becoming a grandmother. They would have years.
As it turned out, they got five.

“You always made fun of her art,” he said. “I never made fun of her art,” she said. “I work in design because of her.” “You glued googly eyes to the toilet and said it was her masterpiece. You even put a little museum placard next to it.” “I was thirteen.” “You know she locked herself in her room and cried when you did that.” “I've got a lot of work to do,” she said. “I don't have time for this.” how to sell a haunted house - grady hendrix

Mark was cleaner but he looked like exactly the type of guy who'd go to a Waffle House at three in the morning after shooting a haunted puppet.

small reading update for the day.
i'm about halfway through the winners, it has been going a bit slow for me but i honestly just think i'm in a physical reading slump and i'm trying to push through it. ugh.
next, i just started how to sell a haunted house by grady hendrix and im about an hour into it and its pretty good. i really like the buildup so far and the brother mark is so sus i feel like he has smth to do with the parents' death. idk though but that is my theory so far!
anyway, feel free to let me know what you're currently reading if you'd like or just let me know if you've read either of these so far!
until next time! probably tomorrow

I appreciate the fact that, despite there being a (very scary) haunted puppet in How to Sell a Haunted House, the book also spends a significant amount of time going into the art of non-haunted puppetry. The brother spent time in a “radical puppet collective”, and while we’re probably supposed to laugh at a certain early 2000s leftist art cringeyness, the book seems very serious about how the point of puppets has always been wildness, mischief, even anarchy. They talk about Punch and Judy, but it also made me think of Mystery Science Theater 3000. The puppets there are goofballs who mean well, but they are also there to heckle other artworks (using the term generously) and cause the kind of havoc on a spaceship that, ironically, ruins the plans of those who actually want to cause evil and suffering.

Mothering, manipulating - sometimes there wasn't a difference. She'd learned that from her mom.

Grady Hendrix (My Best Friend's Exorcism, The Final Girl Support Group) will publish How to Sell a Haunted House on January 17, 2023 via Berkley Publishing. 
The 400-page horror novel will be available in hardcover, e-book, and audio book. Read the synopsis below.
Every childhood home is haunted, and each of us are possessed by our parents.
When their parents die at the tail end of the coronavirus pandemic, Louise and Mark Joyner are devastated but nothing can prepare them for how bad things are about to get. The two siblings are almost totally estranged, and couldn’t be more different. Now, however, they don’t have a choice but to get along. The virus has passed, and both of them are facing bank accounts ravaged by the economic meltdown. Their one asset? Their childhood home. They need to get it on the market as soon as possible because they need the money. Yet before her parents died they taped newspaper over the mirrors and nailed shut the attic door.
Sometimes we feel like puppets, controlled by our upbringing and our genes. Sometimes we feel like our parents treat us like toys, or playthings, or even dolls. The past can ground us, teach us, and keep us safe. It can also trap us, and bind us, and suffocate the life out of us. As disturbing events stack up in the house, Louise and Mark have to learn that sometimes the only way to break away from the past, sometimes the only way to sell a haunted house, is to burn it all down.

"I'm not as smart as you, but what I do know is that when spooky fucking haunted dolls start writing messages on the wall, you should get the fuck out."

People make fun of us because we lost, but we tried to turn the ship around. Millions of us around the world, half a million in New York City alone, banging our drums, marching in the streets, shouting “Wake up!” Less than twenty percent of Americans supported that war. No one wanted to send their sons and daughters to die in the desert, but generals gathered in their masses, right? And look at the world they made. how to sell a haunted house - grady hendrix
