A weird, unusual book with lovely writing - but for those who like their books to end with everything tied up in a neat little bow

quite entertaining, shockingly. i really enjoyed the last section. felt like it might have been one inspiration for the atmosphere/style of lockwood and co. (a good thing!).

This Victoria gothic was a contemporary of Dracula, and it's just as spooky and enjoyable. Perhaps the reason it didn't make as sure a place for itself as Dracula is it's revealing of Victorian fears of the Oriental.

Problematic colonial context. But for some reason, it still slaps.

Tedious and racist but has some interesting ideas. I liked the first part best but the rest is just boring and drawn out for no good reason. The ending sucks too lmao. don't read this
