"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.

"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

** "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
