White Lotus meets Hereditary in this uproarious and unsettling dissection of a dysfunctional family and their ghosts, both literal and metaphorical. Perfect for fans of Grady Hendrix and Ronald Malfi

Anna only has one rule for the annual Pace family vacations: tread lightly, and survive.

It isn't easy when she's the only who doesn't seem to fit in. Her twin brother Benny goes with the flow so much he's practically dissolved, and her high-strung older sister Nicole is so used to everyone—including her blandly docile husband and two young daughters—falling in line that Anna often ends up chastised for simply asking a question. Her Mom is baffled by Anna's life choices (why waste her artistic talent at an ad agency?), and her Dad—well, he just wants a little peace and quiet.

The gorgeous villa outside a remote Tuscan town seems like the perfect place to endure so much family time—not to mention Benny's demanding new boyfriend, Christopher. If her family becomes too much to handle, then at least Anna can wander off to a wine tasting or lose herself in an art gallery. That is, until strange things start to happen—strange noises at night, food rotting within hours, dreams that feel more like memories. Then, the unsettling warnings from the locals: don't open the tower door.©2024 Jennifer Thorne Gothic Horror Supernatural Thriller & Suspense

I’ve been waiting for this audiobook for a while now but it was absolutely worth it!
Beautifully narrated, perfect ghost story, actually scary ghost story!
I could not stop listening.

Perfectly Scary

This was very well written and narrated. Very likeable protagonist and good haunted house scenes, in a unique location (a Tuscan holiday villa). I’ve rounded this up from 3.5 stars, because for me I wasn’t into the fact that probably 60% of the book focused on dysfunctional family dynamics rather than horror. I was cringing at how awful her family were, which I think was the point. This could be 5 star though if you find it relatable to hear someone get relentlessly bullied by their awful family!

Well written but very family drama focused

I'd seen a review on YouTube from someone who read the physical book, and to be honest I think I might have found that more engaging.
