I really enjoyed this! Taylor takes the reader on an exploration of what makes a house a home, and the more sinister steps that can turn a home back onto a house. She references famous haunted houses, the homes of serial killers and what society has come to view as a “haunted house”. There are detailed descriptions of ghosts, murders, unfortunate accidents and everything that could lead to a structure becoming sinister all by itself. I particularly enjoyed the social commentary on these so called haunted houses, and how they often reflect societal norms at the time. There were so many incredible conversations and observations in this book and clearly so much time and research went into it. A really fantastic book.
