Do you like your horror stories absolutely feral? Do you like your gothic stories to be inverted where the terror of the house is the protagonist, and you know her every bonkers thought? Can you manage insane (INSANE) amounts of straight-faced blood and gore?
If you said no to any of the above then absolutely do not read this book. It will horrify you and you will hate it.
If you're thinking sure I could handle some pervasion then you are in for a treat.
The writing is slick and fast-paced. There is no sympathy for Winnifred Notty, but none for her wards or guests of Endsor House either. It also pokes fun at the period and its own genre.
I'm not sure what it says about me that I really enjoyed it but I don't know what else to call it apart from feral.
I received an eARC of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
