5.0

Modern gothic horror is absolutely my jam, and when T Kingfisher is the storyteller mastermind behind the tale, I know I'm going to be in for a hell of a fun, creepy time.

This story was eerie, bizarre, and down right disturbing, without ever being an in your face typical haunted house.

The humor that Kingfisher added is always a plus for me.  She's able to take some really tense moments and give the reader a brief reprieve from it.

love the humor! plot's a little slow on the build-up but trust that it's worth the read. and the suspense.....entomologist's kiss....i cannot express the sheer joy that i felt as a insect lover reading about sam's thoughts on bugs
+ the hardcover edition of this book is so pretty???????
