Loved pretty much everything about this book. The writing is immersive - there were times when I had to stop and just admire a brilliant sentence. The only thing I wish for with the book is that there was more of an explanation or history of the evil in the house. But that didn't stop the book from being one of the best horror novels I've ever read.
