I'd say this is a pretty by-the-books modern gothic. Definitely enjoyable, but not anything we haven't seen before. The prose could have used a bit more fluff for the gothic tone, too. I did really enjoy the imagery we got, though, and the body horror was grotesque in the best kind of way. It delivers on its premise and is a very solid read, overall.
