About this listen

"...it’s compulsively listenable. That’s thanks in part to Sands’ intense narration, whether she’s playing the inscrutable Vera or her wretched mother asking for yet another glass of lemonade." -Vulture

"The audiobook narrated by Xe Sands is a genuinely nail-biting listen." -
Buzzfeed

"Gailey wisely unfurls this story at a delightfully excruciating pace. Accompanied by Sands’s versatile narration, this is a captivating listen."- Library Journal

Just Like Home is a darkly gothic thriller from nationally bestselling author Sarah Gailey, perfect for fans of Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House as well as HBO's 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.

Initially I struggled to get into this book due to the heavy use of metaphors but it took such a dark twist as it went that I’m glad I stuck with it! Tense relationships mixed with just the right amount of fantasy and real human depravity. Narrator was excellent!

Loved the development!

If you are looking for a really scary story, this is not it. But if you are looking for a good story that is a little creepy, I recommend this. They couldn’t have chosen a better narrator.

…is the authentic and very real narrative of being born to unhealthy people. This was just a really wonderful read and a strong performance. Highly recommend for fans of the gothic genre and the turn of the screw.

Gothic Lit, but the scariest part…

The book was sold to me as a book that read like an A24 movie. It was a fun listen if you love disturbing stories with a horror twist.

I like Sarah Gailey, let me just lead with that. This story had characters that felt fully fleshed out, the motivations of each were explained and didn't seem one or even two dimensional. The conflicts were reasonable and the denouement...excellent! I also enjoy that each of Gailey's books I've read are their own little universe that leaves you craving more but you know will be denied, hence making the craving more sweet.

Very Satisfying

I rarely write reviews here. I always forget to. But I was just so taken with this story, I had to. I downloaded it solely based on a friend’s recommendation and am so glad I did. Beautifully written, heartbreaking and visceral. And Xe Sands is simply a wonderful narrator. I look forward to listening to more by Sarah Gailey!!

Horrifying and Beautiful

You think it’s gonna be about one thing, and it kind of is, but then it turns out it was about something quite different and I really enjoyed that dive into the supernatural.

That was a slow curveball I didn’t see coming!
