06/09/2026 Candace Reviews: Spotlight Review for Pride Month - THE HOME by Judith Sonnet

The Home

by Judith Sonnet

THE HOME by Judith Sonnet is a delightfully twisted journey that combines small-town horror with cosmic horror in an almost perfect tale. A story that focuses on friends bound by tragedy, how grief and terror ties us, changes us, and can twist us into something else.

But maybe it’s more than that too, maybe it forces us to take a look at who really are, who our friends are, how well do we know those that we would blindly follow into Dante’s Inferno without blinking an eye?

THE HOME is one of those epic horror stories meant to be read again and again. Each time you read it, you will take something different away from it.  It’s complex, and layered, and elegant. Judith has done something different with THE HOME and I believe this will become one of the most beloved classic horror stories of today’s generation of horror readers.

Final note, the audible narration is absolutely stunning.  It will suck you in from the beginning, make your heart race and your pulse pound, until the very last page.

Get it here.

Synopsis:

THE HOME

In the early '60s, in a seemingly more "innocent" time, a group of teenagers were lured into a supposedly haunted house. The place on Sycamore Lane has a morbid history, but that's just hearsay and rumor, isn't it?

THE HOME

His name was Robbie Miller, and he was a killer. Driven mad by the THING that lived in The Home, he now exists to serve. He'll do whatever the creature that calls itself Mr. Friendlyman asks . . . He'll even become a ghost . . .

THE HOME

Now, decades later and much older, they are returning to The Home. A retired fantasy writer, A doting grandfather, and a mysterious old woman who seems to know things she should not . . .

THE HOME

A dark storm is brewing over this wicked house. A storm that will break down the very fabric of reality. A storm that demands blood and sacrifice, and feeds on the ghosts of anyone who dies within it's premises.
