Critics Review
** “Burch’s debut is cohesive, fast paced, and thoughtful about the racial challenges of the past and how they may haunt the present.” – Booklist, starred review
“A supremely successful, atmospheric tale of horror.” – Kirkus
“Deftly utilizing a haunted house framework to explore the weight of intergenerational trauma, debut author Burch’s chilling tale recalls the sinister atmospherics of Coraline, while its thought-provoking ending enhances spare, poetic storytelling.” – Publishers Weekly
“FINCH HOUSE is a thought-provoking and layered haunted house story that will spark meaningful discussions about family, forgiveness, and what it means to truly coexist.”
– Lindsay Currie, author of The Girl in White and Scritch Scratch.
