4.5

4.5! A treasure piece of gothic fiction. Though it was a slow-paced read, I enjoyed it and the suspense made up for it. I grew fond of the companionship and camaraderie of the group, I find that horror is much more poignant when utilising an ensemble of characters in a fight against the antagonist, especially when that bond is heartened through pain, struggle and loss.

Renfield is my ride and die
Beginning was best, middle was slow burn, ending dragged on way too long
