Ezri fled xer family's suburban Texas home as soon as xe were old enough to leave. Xe now live in England with xer daughter though xey still deal with the fallout from the hauntings that plagued xer family home. When xer parents stop answering the phone, xey head home with an ominous feeling, only to find that both of xer parents have passed away. Did they die a natural death or did the house exact revenge? As Ezri seeks out answers, xey are forced to confront what xer childhood was really like.
Solomon does such an exceptional job of placing you in the head of their characters. Ezri is struggling through a lot in this novel and as the reader, Solomon brings you along very closely with xer experience. This is a tough novel. It delves into a lot of horrible things and Solomon doesn't spare the reader from the true horrors. This is very much a literary horror. Solomon's writing is evocative, which helps bring you into their character's experiences and the horrors of the family home. They add in thoughtful commentary about the experience of a Black family living in a mostly White suburban neighborhood, complicated sibling dynamics, and reconciling memories of one's parents with how they actually acted. Solomon continues to bring a level of thoughtful commentary, evocative writing, and human characters to their work that is above and beyond most other writers' skill.
