This was so good I was genuinely freaked out
The tension and anxiety builds so well, to such a tragic ending

- As I've already said, this is a scary story. A gothic ghost story that builds the tension, the fear and layers the story so that when you reach certain reveals and the end you are suitably terrified.
- Although originally published in the 1980s, the book reads like the Edwardian time period it appears to be set it. The prose is similar in feel to Victorian and early 20th century novels and it adds to the feel of the book.
- This book is short (my copy is under 200 pages long) but it packs so much into such little space.
A perfectly spooky read, great for October or anytime you wish to read a ghost story. I would caution any potential readers not to read this in the dark.
