Description

Some houses don’t want to be sold....get ready to celebrate the latest AND final Grady Hendrix novel set in Charleston, How to Sell a Haunted House. How to Sell a Haunted House is a love letter - of a certain kind - to family, an exploration of death and grief, and is absolutely horrifying / horrifyingly fun. Friday, January 20 - just a few days after How to Sell a Haunted House officially hits bookstore shelves - Buxton Books presents Grady Hendrix and his latest One Man Show at the Unitarian Church. It promises to be a night filled with new horrors, old houses, and (heaven help us!) probably some haunted dolls. Grady crafted his HOW TO SELL A HAUNTED HOUSE show to share the challenges that have plagued the owners and tenants of ghost-infested properties from ancient Greece to modern Mt. Pleasant. Full of tips on how to stage your cursed property (bake cookies!) and how to live with undead roommates (set clear boundaries!) this may be the most useful 60 minutes of your life. After the show, Grady will be in Gage to personlize your book....and if you don't already know, Grady's personlizations are THE best and worth the wati! Do want a little more face time with the author? Check out the VIP ticket for a Meet & Greet in Gage Hall before the main program starts! For VIP ticket holders, the evening begins at 6:00 pm - an hour and a half prior to the programming at the Unitarian - Grady will be in Gage Hall with a smaller group of fans. Enjoy a pre-event cocktail with Grady as he signs and personalizes books. Then make your way over to the Unitarian where you will have reserved seating in the front rows for the main author talk.

ABOUT HOW TO SELL A HAUNTED HOUSE: New York Times and Buxton Books bestselling author Grady Hendrix takes on the haunted house in a thrilling new novel that explores the way your past—and your family—can haunt you like nothing else. When Louise finds out her parents have died, she dreads going home. She doesn’t want to leave her daughter with her ex and fly to Charleston. She doesn’t want to deal with her family home, stuffed to the rafters with the remnants of her father’s academic career and her mother’s lifelong obsession with puppets and dolls. She doesn’t want to learn how to live without the two people who knew and loved her best in the world. Most of all, she doesn’t want to deal with her brother, Mark, who never left their hometown, gets fired from one job after another, and resents her success. Unfortunately, she’ll need his help to get the house ready for sale because it’ll take more than some new paint on the walls and clearing out a lifetime of memories to get this place on the market. But some houses don’t want to be sold, and their home has other plans for both of them… Like his novels The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires and The Final Girl Support Group, How to Sell a Haunted House is classic Hendrix: equal parts heartfelt and terrifying—a gripping new read from “the horror master” (USA Today).
