The most annoying book I've ever read, selfish, and misleading, this book isn't about ghosts and Christmas, it's fake.

Creepy and reminded me why I prefer ghost stories to horror. I wondered if this narrator was unreliable.

For anyone who wants to get into Daphne du Maurier this is the perfect place to start.
This story has all her classic tropes condensed into one short, tense read.
