I wonderful gothic horror novel. The writing is incredible and the imagery that is developed through this is beautifully bone-chilling. The ending was very fast but appropriate for the events that occurred leading up to it. There are some unanswered questions but I am not upset that they all weren’t answered. A mystery still exists and the reader can determine for themselves what they think.
