The haunted house metaphor was very on the nose but I don't really care.
This made me absolutely cringe with fear and disgust before weeping with some sort of joy at the end. I don't think I could give this book less than five stars for inciting such visceral reactions, but definitely approach with caution.

The author spend too much time trying to show how clever and deep they were that the story just got lost in itself and fell off into rambling nonsense towards the end.
Some chapters are very good at creating frightening, atmospheric horror but overall this should have stayed as a creative writing project in someone's journal imo.

This story focuses heavily on the fascism and socio-political climate of England. As an American reader, the themes and concepts did translate and the story resonated deeply with me, but you will find it feels slightly misaligned with American fascism simply because they are different breeds of the same species.
Some may find the imagery and messaging too heavy handed, but for me it never really felt out of place. When reading others' opinions I would think 'of course it's heavy handed, fascism is heavy handed. It beat's itself into you and many do not even notice.'
