How to Sell a Haunted House was an interesting and complex book from Hendrix that I had a great time getting through.
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. It can also trap us, and bind us, and suffocate the life out of us. The past can ground us, teach us, and keep us safe. Sometimes we feel like our parents treat us like toys, or playthings, or even dolls. Sometimes we feel like puppets, controlled by our upbringing and our genes. Yet before her parents died they taped newspaper over the mirrors and nailed shut the attic door. They need to get it on the market as soon as possible because they need the money. The virus has passed, and both of them are facing bank accounts ravaged by the economic meltdown. Now, however, they don’t have a choice but to get along. The two siblings are almost totally estranged, and couldn’t be more different.
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.
