COVER: It would've been nice if it wasn't for that "creepy" face that looks like it's been taken from a cheap Japanese horror movie.
PLOT: It starts a bit meh. A legend for a hunted lighthouse, a stupid man who goes to debunk the mystery. Shit happens. But I actually liked how everything went smoothly. Going worse bit by bit with his time there. I also liked the many stories and legends around the lighthouse. It made it feel a bit more real.
WRITING: The style was simple and easy to read. I really swallowed it for a few hours. The format was interesting. I usually don't like movies in this format but for the book it somehow worked out just fine. Made it more interesting, more simple to follow, and quicker to read.
OVERALL: I like the illustrations. They bring u[ the mood, set the more creepy vibe, and make the whole book better. It's not the best book out there but it works to kill a few hours.

A fair ghost story that is both interesting and, I think, limited due to its structure. It would serve better as an audioplay a la the audio version of "The Mist".

Quick and creepy read. I wish the language had been better, but it didn’t get bad until the very end and I do understand what the authors were trying to convey.
