    #167: Christina Henry - Author of The House That Horror Built

    #167: Christina Henry - Author of The House That Horror Built

    This week on the Capes and Tights Podcast, Justin Soderberg welcomes bestselling author Christina Henry to the program to discuss their novel The House That Horror Built and much more!
    Henry is the author of novels such as Near The Bone, The Ghost Tree, Horseman, the national bestselling Black Wingsseries, the Chronicles of Alice series, and more recently Good Girls Don't Die. Christina released her latest novel The House That Horror Built on May 14, 2024.
    In The House That Horror Built, Harry Adams has always loved horror movies, so it’s not a total coincidence that she took the job cleaning house for movie director Javier Castillo. His forbidding graystone Chicago mansion, Bright Horses, is filled from top to bottom with terrifying props and costumes, as well as glittering awards from his career making films that thrilled audiences—until family tragedy and scandal forced him to vanish from the industry.
    Javier values discretion, and Harry has always tried to clean the house immaculately, keep her head down, and keep her job safe—she needs the money to support her son. But then she starts hearing noises from behind a locked door. Noises that sound remarkably like a human voice calling for help, even though Javier lives alone and never has visitors. Harry knows that not asking questions is a vital part of working for Javier, but she soon finds that the sinister house may be home to secrets she can’t ignore.
