Publisher's Summary
Stephen King's It meets Stranger Things in a tender and terrifying coming-of-age tale of haunted houses and the monster at the door.
Noah Turner's family are haunted by monsters that are all too real, strange creatures that visit them all. When his terminally ill father becomes obsessed with the construction of an elaborate haunted house - the Wandering Dark - the family grants his last wish, creating themselves a legacy and a new family business in their grief. But families don't talk about the important things, and they try to shield baby Noah from horrors, both staged and real. As the family falls apart, fighting demons of poverty, loss and sickness, the real monsters grow ever closer. Unbeknownst to them, Noah is being visited by a wolfish beast with glowing orange eyes. Noah is not the first of the Turners to meet the monster, but he is the first to let it into his room....

One of the worst books I’ve ever seen
Horror is a genre full of taboos but usually used as the element that causes horror and usually to have a message towards the end. If you are waiting for some kind of grand message wrapping everything up in this, not only will you be disappointed but you’ll also be disgusted with the ending.
SPOILER ALERT: moving past the painful ‘nerdy dude does nothing but be a underwhelming nerd to get the girl’ trope, the main Villain being a GROOMER that eventually the author tries to get you to root for is disgusting. I don’t know why it ever be okay for a woman to groom a child since he was prepubescent only to sleep with him later and eventually be in a relationship for him and I don’t know why it’s not displayed as anything but a disgusting act in this book.
Not only that, but it’s so tiring watching a queer character be shunned and punished for being queer only to have them ‘turn straight’ have kids… and that be the end of the story. I Do not know how that is satisfying at all, I do not know why straight men feel the need to write about queer women with no sense of grace. There is no conclusion to this arc, she is just straight now.
One of the worst books I’ve ever read. Any list/website that has this on any kind of “hot new horror” is instantly discredited to me. Only redeeming factor is the performance is good. But you can only polish a turd so much
