This is a mess. Incredibly derivative of a number of much better gothic and horror works, only distinguishing itself in its anachronisms and Americanisms—of which there are so many I actually started to feel embarrassed for the author—which led the historical setting to appear as little more than shallow window-dressing. If the author doesn't care enough about it to do the bare minimum of research and the editorial team doesn't care enough about it to fix the glaring inaccuracies, I'm not sure why the reader should be expected to either.
