Dark, gothic tale that is slow, but full of suspense. Nicely written. The ending is a bit anticlimactic, but it makes sense the precautions that would be taken, given how worse the outcome would've been for a house of young ladies, whose side of the war has been lost.
Moderate: Alcoholism, Animal cruelty, Animal death, Gore, Racial slurs, Racism, Death of parent, and Classism
