Very prettily written with some lovely turns of phrase. Eerie atmosphere. Predictable plot, but I think that's the point--it's tragic, you know how it ends because it tells you near the beginning, the interest is how they get to that conclusion. Characters are not nice people at all though, makes it very hard to care about them. 
Short, quick read.
