⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
This has been on my wishlist for months. There's real craft in how much is left unsaid. The atmosphere builds slowly and then does not let go. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.
Ordered it for Halloween and it came in time. The setting is practically a character, and a hostile one. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.
Been meaning to get this one for a while. Read it in two sittings; the second one ran past midnight. Some chapters are hard to read in the best possible way. Five stars from me.
Finally got around to ordering this. The ending is bleak and honest, not a twist for the sake of one. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.
Been meaning to get this one for a while. Print is comfortable for late-night reading. It leans on old gothic bones and makes them creak convincingly.
Was skeptical at first. Read it in two sittings; the second one ran past midnight. There's real craft in how much is left unsaid.
