This retelling, however...if you weren't scared of the effects of mold in your walls, you will be thinking about it afterwards.
Atmospheric, gothic, fast-paced horror story! I'd recommend a read on a gloomy Saturday in November, get cosy, get creeped out!
Graphic: Classism, Confinement, and Death
Moderate: Body horror, Gore, and Injury/Injury detail

scared the shit out of me. i read the last 3/4 of the book in one sitting alone in the dark with a flashlight and i’ve never had such a visceral fear reaction to a book before (or even a movie). i highly, highly recommend if you like horror. and i recommend reading the poe short story after, too.

This *just* passes my personal Doctor Who/Star Trek measuring stick of tolerable horror (i.e., I can tolerate science fantasy stories that are as unsettling as the scariest episodes of those shows as long as they're also creative, interesting, thoughtful, contain endearing characters, etc.).
