If you read Mexican Gothic and was like man all that fungus stuff was cool but I wish there’d been a knight, this is the book for you. 
It’s an interesting retelling of Poe’s old tale, keeping the tone and mood without making it feel old. It helps that it has some fun gender stuff going on. 
Also, the “did I have fun”-metric remains unbeatable and I sure did have fun.
