"The perfect haunted house story for these unnerving times." --New York Times
Dream House, the riveting debut novel from Pushcart Prize-winning author Valerie Laken, tells the story of one troubled house--the site of a domestic drama that will forever change the lives of two families. Embracing volatile issues such as race, class, and gentrification, while seamlessly mixing genres as diverse as crime fiction, suspense, and home renovation, Dream House is a "sexy, sharp-eyed, deeply haunted, [and] wonderful book." (Charles Baxter, author of the National Book Award finalist The Feast of Love)
