A deliciously gothic Victoriana read, just the right amount of spook. A high body count and mildly gory in parts but gripping storytelling all the way through.

Exactly my vibe, but Part V onward felt a little extraneous to me and could have been covered in a  brief epilogue without losing the tension and catharsis of those paragraphs just before Part V.

Picked up this book as a random find at the library. Went in with no expectations. A truly chilling, haunting story, great foreshadowing and use of literature, complex characters and shocking twists and turns. Graphic at times, so definitely not for everybody but I thoroughly enjoyed this. Think black swan vibes but with better built characters and story.
