A Best Horror Novel of All Time (Cosmopolitan) - WINNER of the 2023 British Fantasy Award for Best Horror Novel - One of the Best Horror Novels of 2022 (Vulture, Paste, NPR, and Teen Vogue) - A Belletrist Book Club pick!

Just Like Home is a darkly gothic thriller from bestselling author Sarah Gailey, perfect for fans of The Haunting of Hill House as well as the true crime masterpiece I'll Be Gone in the Dark.

"Come home." Vera's mother called and Vera obeyed. In spite of their long estrangement, in spite of the memories—she's come back to the home of a serial killer. Back to face the love she had for her father and the bodies he buried there, beneath the house he'd built for his family.

Coming home is hard enough for Vera, and to make things worse, she and her mother aren't alone. A parasitic artist has moved into the guest house out back and is slowly stripping Vera's childhood for spare parts. He insists that he isn't the one leaving notes around the house in her father's handwriting... but who else could it possibly be?

There are secrets yet undiscovered in the foundations of the notorious Crowder House. Vera must face them and find out for herself just how deep the rot goes.
