The House Next Door by Anne Rivers Siddons
Simon & Schuster
Paperback
*BLAIR’S PICK*
Ok. Here’s the thing. I don’t read a lot of scary stories which is silly because I love scary movies. But I’ve read this, and this is SCARY. I loved this and had SO MUCH FUN having the experience of reading a page-turner. The best part was having a friend read it and freaking out when you get to certain parts and sending gross texts to each other in the middle of the night that may or may not involve fetuses.
Kristen Kershner, the (former) owner of Kards Unlimited, and Blair, her sidekick, (and current owner of Kards Unlimited) mostly just throw this book at people while shouting about how good it is.
One of the best haunted house novels of the 20th century. —Stephen King
Horror that makes your skin crawl, while at the same time, it's beautifully written. No big monsters or slimy things, just the creeping feeling that things have gone wrong and are going to get worse. Like Shirley Jackson and The Haunting of Hill House, this is a meditation - or a nightmare - on the power of our environment, specifically our homes. Read it in a house you love and trust.
An unparalleled picture of that vibrant but dark intersection where the Old and the New South collide.
Thirtysomething Colquitt and Walter Kennedy live in a charming, peaceful suburb of newly bustling Atlanta, Georgia. Life is made up of enjoyable work, long, lazy weekends, and the company of good neighbors. Then, to their shock, construction starts on the vacant lot next door, a wooded hillside they'd believed would always remain undeveloped. Disappointed by their diminished privacy, Colquitt and Walter soon realize something more is wrong with the house next door. Surely the house can’t be haunted, yet it seems to destroy the goodness of every person who comes to live in it, until the entire heart of this friendly neighborhood threatens to be torn apart.
