Ordered it for Halloween and it came in time. The ending is bleak and honest, not a twist for the sake of one. It leans on old gothic bones and makes them creak convincingly. Great value for what you get.
Bought this for my brother and ended up reading it first. The audiobook crowd will want the paper copy for the margins. A few scenes I will not forget, whether I want to or not. The cover feels thinner than expected. Solid, if not essential.
A friend from my book club recommended it. The audiobook crowd will want the paper copy for the margins. The atmosphere builds slowly and then does not let go. Shipping was quick too.
Wanted something for October and it delivered. The binding held up to being carried around for a week. One of my better finds this year.
