Relatable because I too hate people and want to hide in a house with my only two designated companions I can I tolerate. 

Not very spooky, more of a character study 

Somehow very gothic and very cottagecore at the same time.

A very accessible and great beginner classic!! Simple writing style and well paced, plot was predictable but the characters and atmosphere were so intriguing
