This was a good, quick spooky story. I'd recommend it as a Halloween read. It had elements that reminded me of The Lost Apothecary, but this was a more focused narrative with a supernatural element coming in to dial up the horror. The audiobook was good, but the narrator's intonation was a bit monotone.
