- Gaslighting
- Creepy dreams
If you enjoy this genre, as I do, this book will fit the bill. That said, I felt like I knew what was going on pretty early. That could be because I've a bit too much Gothic horror. Or it could be due to the author's repeated description and motifs. Regardless it's was a fun read.

I wanted more mushrooms, more of the Mexican culture, and better writing. Ultimately, disappointing.

While some of the symbolism is a bit on the nose, I think that’s in the legacy of great haunted house novels!
