The book is a masterclass in the Ward takes the concept of a creepy house thriller and turns it inside out. You will think you know what is happening. You will be wrong. And then you will be wrong again.

The Last House on Needless Street is a book that infects your brain. You will finish it and immediately flip back to page one to see the "clues" you missed.

Ted’s narrative voice is fragmented and anxious. He constructs a radio studio in his attic to broadcast music to no one. He worries about the "Banging Man," an unseen presence that shakes the walls. He writes a gospel for a God who seems to have abandoned him. His cat, Olivia, is not just a pet; she is a point-of-view character, narrating chapters with a distinct, regal, and slightly mystical feline voice.
