Victoria Hood conjures a shifting range of narrators through an unstable range of worlds where mothers might be dead, girls compulsively shove peanuts inside their ears, agoraphobia traps people inside their houses, and cats won't eat your soup. In \"The Teeth, the Way I Smile,\" a daughter who looks like her dead mother manifests grief both in her house and her body. In \"Smelly Smelly,\" a woman slowly comes to realize her boyfriend has been dead for weeks. In \"You, Your Fault,\" we explore the unfolding love of two women who love every part of each other--including the parts that fixate on arson and murder. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Each story is a bite-size piece of haunting candy on a necklace of obsession holding them together. Hood probes the worlds of what can be haunted, unpacking the ways in which hauntings can be manifested in physical forms, mentally harvested and lived through, and even a change in what is haunting. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Victoria Hood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1573661961\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781573661966\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e F2c\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.53h x 5.48w x 0.45d","brand":"Victoria Hood","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068634132735,"sku":"9781573661966","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_98191621-df63-4fd9-b9e4-b369afec7361.jpg?v=1685420136","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/my-haunted-home-victoria-hood-9781573661966","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
