Decently chilling and a quick read. I'd recommend reading it in one go, I think some of the impact of the ending was lost for me because I read the last ten pages a week after the rest of it.

More than a little ludicrous but a few shivery moments and a nice exploration of the intermingling of memory and image and the haunted possibilities therein.

Really enjoyed this quick creepy read. Loved how it was told through a series of emails - seeing the sent dates and times of each one was an interesting technique to show the mindset of each character as the story unfolded. The mystery at the heart of the story was intriguing and kept me gripped. Definitely had some very unsettling moments. 

Recommend reading this over the space of one or two readings to really get that “down the rabbit hole” feeling.
