The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher, 385 p.
An extremely pragmatic freelance editor goes to rural North Carolina
to clean out the house her unlikable grandmother had lived in. She finds, um,
things she did not expect. I don’t read much horror, but I liked this a lot.
There’s a nice mix of this-thing-is-impossible and this-thing-is-evil; some
emotional horror and some biological horror. The narrator’s voice is the best
part, though; there's a lot of humor amongst the horror.
(And she makes it clear in the first chapter that the dog lives,
so you're safe on that front.)
T. Kingfisher is a pen name of Ursula Vernon.
