The bodies belong to the parents of Ezri, Eve and Emmanuel, who have long since abandoned the childhood home in which their parents remained all these years. A home that has haunted and hollowed them throughout their lives, in a neighbourhood where they grew up as the only Black family, hoping to survive a place that wanted to claim them, expel them and ruin them all at once. In the wake of their parents’ death, Ezri and their siblings are forced to confront the reasons they left, the nightmares that have held them captive and the possibility that realities exist beyond those that have forged them. Bold and tender, MODEL HOME is a powerful meditation on the power of memory, loss and identity. ‘Intense, original, and wonderfully unpredictable’
‘A startling reimagination of the haunted house genre’
KIRKUS REVIEWS
VICTOR LAVALLE
‘Beastly storytelling from page one. Moving. Gnawing. Alive’
‘A disturbing, brilliantly twisty psychological horror exploring family dynamics, memory, gender identity and sexuality’
