One of my favorite reads of the year. I mean, it would about have to be, considering I absolutely flew through this novella in four days. It takes my favorite Poe short story and turns it completely on its head in a new, refreshing way. It's also one of the few horror books in which I found sympathy in every character! That doesn't happen very often. T. Kingfisher is an author I will definitely check out more from now on. Absolutely love her writing and what she brings to the table with her characters.
