Not bad, I've been perusing Gutenberg's mystery fiction offerings and thought this one looked interesting. A very pulp fiction vibe, I enjoyed the occult themes even though parts of it felt very much like they were lifted from Bram Stoker's Dracula. The ending was a bit anticlimactic, seems odd to have such an important series of events just glossed over so quickly, but I still enjoyed it.
