A Guest in the House by Emily Carroll was another book that I heard great things about on TikTok. It's a graphic horror novel, two genres that I don't usually read, but I thought I'd give it a chance. Luckily, my library had it, so it was easy to pick it up.
Abby is a quiet young woman with no friends and no family until she marries a recent widow and moves in with him and his young daughter. When the daughter admits that she may be seeing the ghost of her mother, Abby confesses to having seen ghosts herself in the past. This sounded like it was going to be really interesting, but it was so choppy and disconnected that I just didn't get it. Maybe that is because I don't usually read graphic novels or maybe it was an intentional storytelling device, but either way, it just didn't make any sense to me. I kept thinking it would all become clear soon, but for me, it didn't. It is highly rated on Goodreads, so maybe it will resonate more with you. For me, it just didn't work.
