ABOUT HAUNT SWEET HOME:
Fixer Upper meets Ghost Adventures in the reality TV show at the center of HAUNT SWEET HOME by award-winning queer author Sarah Pinsker (on-sale Sep. 3; Tordotcom), where the crafty night-shift crew manufactures “hauntings'' to spook homeowners and capture their ratings-boosting screams. However, these staged scares unfold into an unnerving reality for the show’s aimless production assistant Mara when the lines blur between practical effects and paranormal activity—and her stumbling journey through adulthood is given an unanticipated push by an unlikely ally.
