“A haunted house thriller packed with cryptic mystery, dark humor, and bone-chilling twists.” —Ryan Douglass, New York Times bestselling author of The Taking of Jake Livingston
The Haunting of Hill House meets Sadie in this “genuinely terrifying” (School Library Journal, starred review) psychological thriller following two teen girls navigating the treacherous past of a mysterious mansion ten years apart.
Daisy sees dead people—something impossible to forget in bustling, ghost-packed Toronto. She usually manages to deal with her unwanted ability, but she’s completely unprepared to be dumped by her boyfriend. So when her mother inherits a secluded mansion in northern Ontario where she spent her childhood summers, Daisy jumps at the chance to escape. But the house is nothing like Daisy expects, and she begins to realize that her experience with the supernatural might be no match for her mother’s secrets, nor what lurks within these walls…
A decade later, Brittney is desperate to get out from under the thumb of her abusive mother, a bestselling author who claims her stay at “Miracle Mansion” allowed her to see the error of her ways. But Brittney knows that’s nothing but a sham. She decides the new season of her popular Haunted web series will uncover what happened to a young Black girl in the mansion ten years prior and finally expose her mother’s lies. But as she gets more wrapped up in the investigation, she’ll have to decide: if she can only bring one story to light, which one matters most—Daisy’s or her own?
As Brittney investigates the mansion in the present, Daisy’s story runs parallel in the past, both timelines propelling the girls to face the most dangerous monsters of all: those that hide in plain sight.

This. 'Delicious Monsters' popped up in my recommendations around Halloween and I thought, 'Why not?' Despite being loaded with supernatural content, this is not a fright fest. There are elements of the story that are beyond creepy, but those elements evoke revulsion and thoughts of 'I need a shower now!' rather than a terror-fueled adrenaline rush.
There are trigger warnings for child abuse. (It appears in sexual and psychological forms as well as physical torture.) There should also be warnings for people with mommy or daddy issues. The novel revolves around incompetent parenting in general and sadistic fathers and narcissistic mothers in particular.
There are ghosts, ghosts and more ghosts here. Ghosts literally come out of the woodwork. All of the ghosts are creepy, but most are pathetic, some are malevolent, and a very few of the malevolent ones are dangerous. But it's the living that behave in the most monstrous ways.
'Delicious Monsters' is a lovely, at times heartbreaking story that is well told. 'Daisy' is well performed. I really enjoy the story when it is told from her point of view. 'Brittany' is read mostly in monotone. There are some changes in volume and the pace of speech, but there is little inflection. While I like Brittany's story, I don't look forward to hearing it.
Brava, Ms Sambury.
