Dark, claustrophobic A.I.-tinged haunted house riff. Covering a single afternoon’s terror in a Victorian-styled house, Coile’s fast-paced narrative is a veritable creep machine, graced with strong characterizations, deception, violence, cruelty, mad science, & canny twists. A great read for late-night chills.
P.S. “Mason Coile” is a pseudonym of the great Andrew Pyper, a great writer and even greater human being who was taken from us far too soon this past January. Read his books, you won’t be disappointed.
