Two unreliable narrators that go off on tangents, which works SUPER well to divert your attention. Such a cool read! But it did get a little too disorienting for me every now and again.

Un extraordinario relato con todos los ingredientes del relato gótico. Es espeluznante porque lo que más asusta es la realidad que se esconde tras la metáfora.
