What happens when the scariest thing in your house ain’t the ghosts—it’s your own family? Welcome to Big Mama’s home, where the gospel is loud, the chicken is seasoned, and even the haunting gotta respect the side-eye. If Jordan Peele’s Get Out spent a week in your Black auntie’s living room, you’d get this side-splitting, Southern, and absolutely original horror-comedy about a family that can’t be broken—even by the wildest spirits. Inside you’ll meet: Big Mama: Queen of the house, professional prayer warrior, and certified ghost negotiator. - Jasmine: Social media star, prank master, and the only one bold enough to live-stream a haunting. - Ray: The self-proclaimed “ghost hunter” who’s really just tryna avoid chores. - Bentley the dog: Smarter than Ray, sassier than Jasmine, and the real MVP when the haunting starts acting up. From self-delivering mail and gossiping kitchen appliances, to family reunions that turn into accidental séances, every chapter brings gut-busting laughter, heartfelt moments, and a taste of Black Southern culture you won’t find anywhere else. Perfect for fans of: Black comedy & horror ( Tales from the Hood , Get Out , Atlanta ) - Southern folklore & family drama - Books that blend heart, humor, and just the right touch of haints If you’re tired of recycled ghost stories and ready for a book where the family’s funnier than the haunting, this one’s for you. Because in this house? Ain’t no chicken bone, spirit, or bill collector strong enough to outlast Black joy.
