Man, Fuck This House

By Brian Asman

With his "highly visual and cinematic worldbuilding" (Booklife by Publishers Weekly), Brian Asman spins a horrifying and imaginative tale of an ordinary family and their extraordinary new house...

Sabrina Haskins and her family have just moved into their dream home, a gorgeous Craftsman in the rapidly-growing Southwestern city of Jackson Hill. Sabrina's a bored and disillusioned homemaker, Hal a reverse mortgage salesman with a penchant for ill-timed sports analogies. Their two children, Damien and Michaela, are bright and precocious.

At first glance, the house is perfect. But things aren't what they seem.

Sabrina's hearing odd noises, seeing strange visions. Their neighbors are odd or absent. And Sabrina's already-fraught relationship with her son is about to be tested in a way no parent could ever imagine.

Because while the Haskins family might be the newest owners of 4596 James Circle, they're far from its only residents...

It was just ok

Not scary but it was ok and an easy read.

I'm not really sure how to feel...

I liked it, I did. I promise, I liked it. But I am also particularly confused and not sure how to feel after finishing the last page. I'm pretty sure I spent an additional five minutes scavenging the book to see if there was more or if it truly ended as it did. Spoiler alert, it definitely did. I think. I looked into the book, firstly, because it was prompted after looking over some other books, as does happen. The main character, Sabrina's, name was what hooked me, I think. I have a character of my own that fit her description, physically and psychologically, so I decided to give it a go--see what my Brina might be up to in another universe. Then the house itself was the clincher--I really, really like old, odd houses with even odder stories and this definitely fit the bill. Brian Harmon's Rushed: The Unseen is absolutely to blame for my need to grab this as soon as viewing it. What I was not expecting were the many twists and turns after I truly and honestly believed I had finally figured out what was going to happen next; spoiler alert number two, I was never correct. I did love the humor between the characters, particularly Sabrina and her husband. Her kids...were another story but I suppose they have their moments. The house itself, I think I felt on a personal level. All in all, I recommend it. I don't recommend coming in with any set in stone expectations as, I promise you, you will be wrong.

oh the vibes this gives

pretty fun and would be better if it didn't feel like a divorced man getting back at the wife who kept his house wrote this. also. what is up with damien? do you hate you kids?
