Finally got around to ordering this. The prose is clean and the scares land because the characters feel real. Definitely recommend.
Needed a good scare and got one. Not a jump-scare book; it gets under the skin and stays there. Already eyeing my next order.
A friend from my book club recommended it. It pairs well with the classics it is clearly in conversation with. Highly recommend.
Was skeptical at first. There's real craft in how much is left unsaid. Good introduction if you have not read this author before. Five stars from me.
Needed a good scare and got one. It leans on old gothic bones and makes them creak convincingly. The cover feels thinner than expected. Still worth having on the shelf.
Finally got around to ordering this. Good introduction if you have not read this author before. One of my better finds this year.
Grabbed it for a long flight. It pairs well with the classics it is clearly in conversation with. Five stars from me.
