He insists that he isn’t the one leaving notes around the house in her father’s handwriting. A parasitic artist has moved into the guest house out back and is slowly stripping Vera’s childhood for spare parts. Back to face the love she had for her father and the bodies he buried there, beneath the house he'd built for his family.Ĭoming home is hard enough for Vera, and to make things worse, she and her mother aren’t alone. In spite of their long estrangement, in spite of the memories - she's come back to the home of a serial killer. “Come home.” Vera’s mother called and Vera obeyed. Just Like Home is a darkly gothic thriller from nationally bestselling author Sarah Gailey, perfect for fans of Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House as well as HBO's true crime masterpiece I'll Be Gone in the Dark.
Genres: Fiction, Fantasy, Contemporary, Mystery & Detective, General, Thrillers, Supernatural Published by Hodder & Stoughton on July 21, 2022 This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Just Like Home by Sarah Gailey, (List Price: $26.I received this book for free from the Publisher in exchange for an honest review. You spend a lot of time basically knowing what’s likely around the corner, but still being lured in by how twisty it gets – until you don’t know who to root for, or if you’re supposed to be rooting for anyone, or if the serial killer is the villain. Just memories and remembrances looping around and around in both a slow lead-up to the past and a constant questioning. This is the kind of book that’s hard to summarize because ultimately very little happens or a lot happens but it’s all hinted-at and spoilers. How home isn’t always something safe (that last one is something Gailey especially makes haunting amoeba strips from). How families can be a confusion of unkindness and violence and complicity. Sarah Gailey leaned all the way into the truism that haunted house stories are a way to talk about how horrifying domesticity can be.
