Book Overview

A Barnes & Noble Best Horror Book of 2023

A haunting Southern Gothic from an award-winning master of suspense, A House With Good Bones explores the dark, twisted roots lurking just beneath the veneer of a perfect home and family.

"Mom seems off."

Her brother's words echo in Sam Montgomery's ear as she turns onto the quiet North Carolina street where their mother lives alone.

She brushes the thought away as she climbs the front steps. Sam's excited for this rare extended visit, and looking forward to nights with just the two of them, drinking boxed wine, watching murder mystery shows, and guessing who the killer is long before the characters figure it out.

But stepping inside, she quickly realizes home isn't what it used to be. Gone is the warm, cluttered charm her mom is known for; now the walls are painted a sterile white. Her mom jumps at the smallest noises and looks over her shoulder even when she's the only person in the room. And when Sam steps out back to clear her head, she finds a jar of teeth hidden beneath the magazine-worthy rose bushes, and vultures are circling the garden from above.

To find out what's got her mom so frightened in her own home, Sam will go digging for the truth. But some secrets are better left buried.

4.5* The ending fell a little flat for me but I really enjoyed the humor, the horror, and the imagery.

A HOUSE WITH GOOD BONES by T. Kingfisher Archaea-entomologist Samantha “Sam” Montgomery is visiting her mother Edith “Edie” in North Carolina after one of her research projects in Arizona falls through. Sam thinks this will just be another normal visit — until it’s not. For being a spooky read, I laughed so much while listening to the audio book. This has just the right balance of humor and eeriness. I loved all the characters (even old and crotchety Gran Mae!). The dialogue was great and pacing was good. The end felt a bit rushed, but was ultimately satisfying. Overall a good, not so scary haunted house story with creepy crawlies thrown in for fun. This is the first T. Kingfisher novel I’ve read and I plan to read more soon! **Note: Narration by Mary Robinette Kowal was excellent - especially loved her “old southern lady” accent! Rating: 4/5 ⭐️

Fun!

I love Kingfisher's books, this was was good and fun and I don't regret reading it. There are long stretches where kinda nothing happens and there's like 3 villans at once but they are all very scary
