Very much its genre, so I feel like it'll be a hit or miss depending on how much you like gothic horror. Like most stories in this genre, the pace really picks up after the Big Reveal. Noemi is a very fun protagonist and Virgil and Howard are very creepy villains. It was cool to see gothic horror set somewhere outside, like, Victorian England. Definitely recommended for a fun, chilling October read.

If you like the body horror part of this, I recommend also reading Sorrowland by Rivers Solomon!
