Gardner constructs a plot where the supernatural intrusion follows the characters into their daily lives, blurring the line between safety and danger. This book suits readers who enjoy stories about haunted locations and ghosts that pursue their targets. It may not appeal to those seeking complex historical research or extensive folklore analysis.
