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.
