Grady Hendrix is an author I’ve wanted to start reading for a while now. And hearing about this book and puppets I was all in. If you put Annabelle, a weird family(seriously they were weird), and suppressed childhood drama into a book. This is what it was. The book was creepy, Hendrix goes into so much detail that it feels like you’re watching a movie. I loved the plot and how he wrote the grief aspect of it and how it was centered around it but not too overbearing. The dark humor in the book was good too there wasn’t a lot but it was there. I gave it half a star off cause the siblings were irritating at times but did grow on me as I got further into the book.
