Title: The House That Eats The Dead Author: Max Doty Genre: Horror Published: August 18, 2026 Thank you to Bantam Books and Netgalley for the copy for review. A family seeks a fresh start in an older and larger home away from the San Francisco city center. They quickly realize that their new home has a hunger for everything dead. What starts like the beginning of all sentient house book and movie becomes something very interesting. I love that the home in this book is definitely a character in this story. This family faces so many different moral quandaries around the maintenance of such a hungry house. Some of the situations they face in the story are expected, but this story keeps going way beyond what I could have imagined. If you love sentient or haunted house stories I highly recommend this one. I don't recommend it as the scariest house, but as the best explored ideas that can be explored with the concept. My Rating: 4.25 out of 5 stars...
