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.


Going home is always hard.

For Vera, going home means returning to the notorious Crowder House where her serial killer father murdered his victims and buried their bodies beneath.

Then notes start to appear in Vera's father's handwriting - but they can't be from him. He has been dead for years.

Vera thought that the house had given up all its secrets but now she must uncover how deep the rot goes.

A truly dark read * The i *
This moody Gothic tale drips dread, and the screaming ab-dabs * Peterborough Telegraph *
Gailey's newest gothic novel is painfully suspenseful and richly dark, their rushing, intoxicating writing in peak form. Delightfully creepy and heartbreakingly tragic, Just Like Home is equal parts raw terror of a dark childhood bedroom, creeping revelations of a true-crime podcast, and searing hurt of resentment within a family. It's a must-read for all gothic horror fans * Booklist, starred review *
