⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
This has been on my wishlist for months. It leans on old gothic bones and makes them creak convincingly. The cover feels thinner than expected. Good, with the caveats above.
Grabbed it for a long flight. The prose is clean and the scares land because the characters feel real. The audiobook crowd will want the paper copy for the margins. Happy enough with the purchase.
Finished it over a stormy weekend, which helped. Read it in two sittings; the second one ran past midnight. A few scenes I will not forget, whether I want to or not. Would buy from this store again.
Been meaning to get this one for a while. There's real craft in how much is left unsaid. The audiobook crowd will want the paper copy for the margins. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Still worth having on the shelf.
Arrived quickly and well packaged. It is the kind of horror that rewards reading with the lights on. The audiobook crowd will want the paper copy for the margins. One of my better finds this year.
Grabbed it for a long flight. Print is comfortable for late-night reading. Already eyeing my next order.
