White is for Witching is a gothic fever dream that was a little hard to get into at first, but once you adjust to the authors writing style it’s impossible to put down. Seriously hung between different perspectives and timelines, the story slowly unravels revealing the malevolent sentience of the house. I went into this one with very little knowledge be I’m glad, because there isn’t much you can say without ruining the vibes of the story. If you’re into gothic literature and literary novels that are eerie and twisty, you’ll enjoy White is for Witching.
