5.0

Easily one of my favorite books that I've read recently. I loved the layers of metafiction. The whole book felt very meaty; I think I would get even more out of it on a reread. I enjoyed the take on hauntings a lot; it made me think of The Shining a bit. The illustrations are gorgeous, and I would love to get a paper copy to annotate and to better see the illustrations. Definitely will return to this one!
