You've read My Best Friend's Exorcism, you've read The Southern Book Clubs Guide to Slaying Vampires, (and if you haven't know that you are missing out), now get ready for the latest AND last novel Grady Hendrix will 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, of course, absolutely horrifying / horrifyingly fun.

On Friday, January 20 - just a few days after How to Sell a Haunted House officially hits bookstore floors (on Jan. 17) - join Buxton Books in welcoming Grady Hendrix to The Riviera Theater (227 King Street) at 7:30 pm for night filled with new horrors, old houses, and - heaven help us - probably some haunted dolls.

Grady will be giving us a behind-the-scenes peek into the making of this novel with his signature flourish (the word zany comes to mind), signing and personalizing books, and celebrating the release of what is sure to be another Grady Hendrix cult classic.

Want a little more face time with Grady? Check out the VIP ticket for a Meet & Greet in the ballroom of the Riviera Theater before the main program starts! Beginning at 6:00 pm - an hour and a half prior to the programming in the Riviera’s main theater - Grady will be in the Riviera’s ballroom with a smaller group of fans. Enjoy a pre-event cocktail with Grady as he signs and personalizes books and mingles. Then make your way into the main theater 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 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).
