I read this on my phone, which made keeping track of the page count difficult, but also when I thought it was over, it was NOT over. And I was angry with where I thought it was going to end. Visceral disappointment. Luckily, I was wrong and there was the true climax around the corner.
The true climax's metaphors floored me.
I love a haunted house story that doesn't demonize all the ghosts, but also doesn't shy away from their misdeeds.
This one avoids too much gory detail at the begin, but holds no punches as the story progresses, much in line with the main character's mindset as the month goes on. Do not read this book if you cannot handle gore, especially toward
Some of my favorite themes here beyond the haunted house component: strained relationships between mother and daughter, close quarters cohabitation, exorcisms, and seedy motels/bars.
