⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Not my usual subgenre but wanted to branch out. Not a jump-scare book; it gets under the skin and stays there.
Finally got around to ordering this. Read it in two sittings; the second one ran past midnight. Some chapters are hard to read in the best possible way. It assumes some familiarity with the genre's tropes. Still worth having on the shelf.
Grabbed it for a long flight. It leans on old gothic bones and makes them creak convincingly. Good introduction if you have not read this author before. Highly recommend.
Needed a good scare and got one. The audiobook crowd will want the paper copy for the margins. Not a jump-scare book; it gets under the skin and stays there.
Needed a good scare and got one. There's real craft in how much is left unsaid. Good introduction if you have not read this author before. A keeper.
Finished it over a stormy weekend, which helped. It pairs well with the classics it is clearly in conversation with. It leans on old gothic bones and makes them creak convincingly. Glad I finally picked this up.
Wanted something for October and it delivered. The atmosphere builds slowly and then does not let go. The setting is practically a character, and a hostile one. Highly recommend.
