“This literary thriller's complex narrative involves a cursed house, an unsolved murder and impeccable writing.” —The New York Times Book Review • The basis for the Netflix film Things Heard and Seen Recent transplants to the small town of Chosen, New York, the Clares have not received the warmest welcome; once a thriving dairy farm, their home is haunted by the tragedy that left the former owner’s three sons orphaned and adrift. Late one winter afternoon, professor George Clare knocks on his neighbor’s door with terrible news: he returned from work to find his wife, Catherine, murdered in their bed. Someone took an ax to her head while their three-year-old daughter, Franny, played alone in her room across the hall. As one dark secret peels away to reveal others—and as the Clare marriage reveals itself to have a sinister darkness that rivals the farm’s history—Elizabeth Brundage offers a rich and complex portrait of the scars that can haunt a community for generations and the dark longings inside each and every one of us that drive us to do inexplicable things.

"I read this book after seeing the movie. Much to my surprise it wasn’t all that similar to the movie. The book is more of a psychological thriller about a psychotic acting normal and philosophy is a common theme. There is ghosts and a haunted house but it’s not a prominent as it is in the Netflix Original, with it being more of a paranormal movie. All in all, the book was good, the characters were amazingly written, you understood the setting, it felt like a very real life book from the events and variety of people. 4.5/5 ⭐️’s"
