dark tense medium-paced

My only problem with the book was that they made a lot of emphasis on how much they ~desired/loved~ the countess but they never really explained what she did for them to love her so much and so I felt that it was lacking in that sense. Also, I would definitely want to see this as a TV show.

I liked the creepy story, I didn't really understand the bit about the doughnut shaped thing but maybe that was just me. I also enjoyed the afterword by the author.
