2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
A chilling horror novel about a haunting, told from the perspective of a young girl whose troubled family is targeted by an entity she calls Other Mommy, from the New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box To eight-year-old Bela, her family is her world. Theres Mommy, Daddo, and Grandma Ruth. But there is also Other Mommy, a malevolent entity who asks her every day: Can I go inside your heart? When horrifying incidents around the house signal that Other Mommy is growing tired of asking Bela the question over and over, Bela understands that unless she says yes, her family will soon pay. Other Mommy is getting restless, stronger, bolder. Only the bonds of family can keep Bela safe, but other incidents show cracks in her parents marriage. The safety Bela relies on is about to unravel. But Other Mommy needs an answer. Incidents Around the House is a chilling, wholly unique tale of true horror about a family as haunted as their home.

What a rollercoaster of a read! The tension was palpable - it was just the right mix of spooky with real, palpable fear. The crux of the story reminded me of the film ‘The Babadook‘ - taking a familiar emotion/reality of everyday life and juxtaposing it against the innocence & confusion of a small child. In doing this, it arguably ratchets up the tension by using a relatable reality to underscore the scare device. 😰👀🏡👨‍👩‍👧👹 Overall, solid.

Melismatic My thanks to Random House & Del Rey for this advance readers copy, via NetGalley. The book drops June 25th in stores and is sure to be popular with folks who love spooky like I do! 2mo

We got snow overnight, looks like it‘ll stick around for a lil. Perfect excuse to curl up inside & hopefully finish this ARC. I‘m enjoying it so far - a mixture of spooky & relatable.
