4.75

Haunted house, queer characters, political allegories, social issues commentary……… 100% yes! Love the stream of consciousness/poetic prose. This is definitely a heavy book (heed the CWs!!!) but relevant, relatable, and important. I understand this isn’t a book for everyone, but if you like horror, stuff that makes you squirm, and commentary on fascism and capitalism…. You’ll love it. (Only 4.75 bc there were a few typos!!)

This was a really tough one to rate. I averaged it at 3 stars because there were things I loved about it and things I really didn’t love about it. I get that the point was to make the reader uncomfortable, but…..jesus. Take those content warnings very seriously.

Gothic as the genre was intended. One of the few modern gothic horrors that gets it right. Wow I am still processing this book. A difficult but compelling read.
