My sibling suggested this book to me as it is pretty short. 

It was definitely short. I am still working on my language level English, so there were some parts that were hard for me to get through. I would almost say the first half of the book is a bit boring. But the end is in my opinion definitely a great ending. The second half was great and I could really feel the curiosity and adrenaline run through my body. I remember being weirded out at the end (not sure if it was in a bad way or not). 

If you're thinking of reading this, I would definitely give it a shot. It's fun to have read..

Loved the narrator of this one, added such fun and levity to the dark, gothic goings on at the House of Usher.

I didn't read the description of the book before reading, just added it to my library list on a friend's suggestion, so when it turned out to be an alternate take on classic Poe I was delighted. I think it would have felt less creepy to me if I weren't familiar with the original story, but it would still have been worth reading. Perhaps a little too much history on the region Easton comes from, but I appreciated their nonbinary identity and how much they loved their horse.
