House of Windows by John Langan

4.0

Oh, look, me giving a John Langan book a high rating, that's unusual! Wait, that's not it, I meant totally expected. House of Windows is his first novel, but I think the last currently available piece of his work I hadn't yet read. In typical Langan style, the book is thoroughly fleshed out and can get dense at points, and this one referenced a lot of Dickens I've not read (my primary exposure to Dickens thus far is the Muppets Christmas Carol). So, did I miss things, probably? Sure. But it was still an engaging read, with his unusual take on a haunting. Sometimes, it did feel like it was trying to drag just a hair. But otherwise, great book.
