This is a short and (not-so) sweet listen for Halloween. The narrator's voice lulled me into complacency, making the eerie moments all the more terrifying. I am glad this leans more House of Leaves than Amityville Horror, though.

A fantastic psychological bending story. Being a short read, the aspect of an unreliable narrator changes the tone of the book entirely. It is confusing and difficult to understand at times, but in my opinion that only adds to the subject. I loved it, the writer did exceptionally well.
