Thank you to NetGalley and Repeater Books for this ARC. All thoughts are my own.

This was an extremely interesting compilation of histories. I loved how the architectural horrors were a front for the connection between horror and the American Dream, the necessity of feminism and race and the exclusion of Black Americans from the horror genre. I came out of Sick Houses with a solid list of horror movies to watch. I love that Taylor avoided the True Crime aspect of the houses she talked about and rather connected them as reflections to real societal issues. If you usually dislike nonfiction but enjoy essays, I definitely recommend Sick Houses because the tone throughout was personal, enlightening but without a bombardment of unnecessary information
