Have you ever started something - a book, audiobook, movie, TV show, etc - and knew immediately that this wasn't for you? You liked the idea of it and you see what they are trying to do but, nope. This isn't for you.
Well, that was the reaction I had with this. I loved the idea of this novella - a medieval ghost story, rewritten (up to a point) by a modern author. Perfect for Halloween or for those of you who like creepy ghost stories to read over Christmas.
And yet...
And yet, this didn't work for me. I can't explain why I had such a strong reaction to reading this in almost one sitting. It's fine, and I know some of you guys will love this. Just not for me, I'm afraid.
