“An uncanny debut…What’s fantastical in the novel, ultimately, is not only the ghost that shakes the bride out of her domestic bliss, but the illusion of that bliss itself."
—The New York Times

"Modern gothic meets psychological suspense in this wholly original work." 
—Kirkus Reviews

"House of Beth is a stunning debut novel that is compelling and surprising and haunting. Kerry Cullen’s sharp and beautiful prose is the lifeline of this book, telling us the story of Cassie—a young woman working in New York—as she returns home to New Jersey and rekindles an old relationship. Cullen subverts our expectations at every step, constructing a book that is unexpected, impossible to put down, and one that is so very satisfying at its end."
—Laura Spence-Ash, author of Beyond That, the Sea

"House of Beth perfectly captures that tenuous moment in your twenties when your adult life doesn’t yet have a solid foundation. Cassie—seemingly irresponsibly—decides to walk away from New York City and her job in publishing, only to end up in a marriage, a ghost story, and a new life so strange that it matches the strangeness she has always carried inside her. A lovely story about how even though unraveling a life can be dangerous, there are possibilities in the heart of that darkness."
—Ann Napolitano, author of Hello Beautiful

"A ghost story, a love story, and a spiral all at once—an intense reckoning with the human mind, House of Beth examines both the horror and the resplendence of being alive."
—Danya Kukafka, national bestselling author of Notes on an Execution

“Staggering in its beauty and in its honesty, House of Beth is exquisitely tense—every page sparks with angst and desire and piercing insight about what it is to be haunted. A ghost story unlike any other. Eerie and hypnotic and absolutely unmissable.”
—Rachel Harrison, USA Today bestselling author of So Thirsty and Black Sheep

"House of Beth is the ghost story I’ve been waiting for—steamy and audacious; terrifically paced. What begins as an unsettling tale of precipitated marriage and loneliness twists and explodes into an exquisite finale." 
—Sanaë Lemoine, author of The Margot Affair

“Vivid, addictive, and crackling with life (yes, even the ghost), Kerry Cullen’s House of Beth asks us to consider how and why we make the lives we make; how blurry, complicated, and misunderstood our own thoughts and yearnings can be, and where and how we might both love and be loved amidst the mess. I loved this book for its acuity, its urgency, but most of all its beautiful beating heart.”
—Lynn Steger Strong, author of Flight, Want, and Hold Still
