This is a fantastic twist on a classic haunted house story, with solid, vivid characters whose decisions made sense even in the face of certain doom. Johnny Compton has neatly solved the "Why would you want to live in a house you know is haunted?" question without resorting to everyday skepticism. My only complaint is I wish it was longer. There were a couple details about Eric's family history left unresolved and I could've done with just one more chapter wrapping those up. I understand why it ended where it did, I just wanted more! Definitely going to keep an eye on this author from now on.
