Horror Quickie - The Last House on Needless Street

Available Now

Reader friends, this book contains all the content warnings. It’s a rough, rough read but the writing itself is phenomenal.

From the Publisher:

In a boarded-up house on a dead-end street at the edge of the wild Washington woods lives a family of three.

A teenage girl who isn’t allowed outside, not after last time.
A man who drinks alone in front of his TV, trying to ignore the gaps in his memory.
And a house cat who loves napping and reading the Bible.

An unspeakable secret binds them together, but when a new neighbor moves in next door, what is buried out among the birch trees may come back to haunt them all.

The Last House on Needless Street is an intricately crafted puzzle that reveals itself to be extraordinarily dark and horrifying. It’s full of unreliable narrators and complex characters set in a dark and depressing part of the neighborhood. This neighborhood also borders a forest and that can only be home to horrific secrets. Not going to lie, it took until the last 50 or so pages for me to fully realize what was actually going on in the story and I was completely blown away. While this is one of the hardest books I’ve read in a long time, Ward’s ability to weave such an intricate story and pull off that level of a reveal was extraordinary to experience.

Highly recommend it, but know this is a hard and trauma filled story going in. If you want to add this book to your collection, you can find ordering information here or click on the book cover.
