⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Cavendish constructs a chilling narrative where personal loss merges with historical malice, creating an oppressive gothic atmosphere. The book excels in depicting the erosion of reality as Laura confronts the spirits of the hanged witches. It avoids safe havens, maintaining tension through a relentless struggle against ancient evil. This approach suits readers who enjoy psychological horror and folk traditions. Those seeking lighthearted tales or strict historical nonfiction may find it unsatisfying. However, for enthusiasts of dark fantasy and true crime adjacent fiction, the story provides a visceral experience of grief intertwined with supernatural vengeance.
