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.).

i wasn’t spooked or anything but i had no idea it was a retelling of edgar allan poe when i picked it up, which is on me i admit (i don’t like eap)
regardless, the book was boring.
not bad, not good, just blah. it was quick which is why i finished it in one sitting, but i just didn’t care about anything that happened.
the only character i hoped lived and that i actually liked was hob. yes, the horse. he was the only good person in here.
this would work well as a short film or movie i think. the vibes were there and it would’ve been more eerie and creepy in film form.
