“Cross White House history with The Shining and you’ve got Pyper’s occult-filled novel. . . . Add in the presence of a creepy kid and there’s plenty of satisfying horror to be had, though The Residence also presents an interesting love story and nicely weaves in America’s struggles with war and slavery.”
— USA Today“A supernatural thriller steeped in the melancholic and macabre, the kind of ghost story that will keep you up at night. A vivid nightmare of a book.”
— IAIN REID, bestselling author of I’m Thinking of Ending Things and Foe“The only thing more bewitching than a ghost in the White House is putting its story in the hands of Andrew Pyper. Herein lies the coupling of the uncanny with the all-too-real, and the glow from such a pairing lights the way to a chilling, profound reading.”
— JOSH MALERMAN, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box and Malorie“A claustrophobic, absorbing tale of parental grief and paranormal chaos. . . . The historical details ring true without bogging down the story in research. Scary and surprisingly affective.”
— Toronto Star“Horror in the tradition of Henry James’ Turn of the Screw and Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House. . . . Pyper retells a historical narrative, weaving it with imagined possibilities and a thick layer of creepy. But underneath the bumps in the night and the ghostly apparitions, Pyper is also telling us something else: the moral behind the genesis of the American Dream. . . . He remains a true storyteller of gothic horror.”
— The Globe and Mail“[An] intriguing fusion of horror thriller and historical fiction . . . rooted in the foundations of the American nation, in particular the moral crime of slavery. . . . a shivery pleasure.”
— Winnipeg Free Press“As timely as it is scary.”
— Toronto Star“Andrew Pyper’s work never fails to amaze and The Residence is no exception. He is the rare writer who always manages to create a fun, scary page-turner that is also deeply literate and achingly human.”
— JEFF LEMIRE, New York Times bestselling author of Descender and Essex County“Andrew Pyper shows us the White House as we’ve never seen it before. Haunted. Possessed. And occupied by a demon. The Residence shows the depths of sadness and madness possible through grief. A Gothic horror story that is rich with emotional complexity and as beautiful as it is terrifying.”
— ALMA KATSU, author of The Deep and The Hunger “Pyper does a good job of haunting the White House . . . [and] this eerie ghost story is sure to please horror fans.”
