House of Windows by John Langan
3.0

Worthwhile attempt at literary horror which is engrossing in the moment but, when I think back on it, feels like it diminishes as I mull it over. Doesn't quite bridge the gap between the narrative tradition it draws on, and commits some unforced errors (like directly drawing attention to a way in which the story has become annoying and repetitive, rather than adjusting the pacing accordingly to fix it).
