For fans of American Horror Story: Murder House, but a lot less horny.

I loved Margaret's nonchalance about the hauntings (which I feel is tied to a psychological aspect - you'll find out more about her lore) and I loved all the ghosts. 

The first 80% was a bit slow and had a lot of flashbacks but I think the pay-off was worth it. 

Didn't think I'd give this a 5 but I just loved that ending so much and I'm a sucker for a good, old haunted house story.

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

Attacking the haunted house genre from the perspective of an overly agreeable mom who just puts up with most of it is kind of hilarious. 

I devoured this in two days. 


I did notice 100% of adult men who died in the house did not get to come back as ghosts and did not get to have their injuries reversed at the end. I find that very interesting, but I did want an acknowledgement of that somewhere? Like we're literally watching all the children & adult women who died in the house heal & leave (if they want to) and then they just sit on the porch like... so Hal is dead. I'm down with it but I was like... is no one else seeing a pattern here hi hello.
