Beyond this, the premise is not dissimilar from a lot of Kingfisher's other horror. A 30-something woman goes through a breakup (that has almost no relevance to the story) and is drawn back to a place from her childhood and quickly learns spooky things are happening. Of those (A House with Good Bones, and The Hollow Places), this one is my favorite. The world and mysterious elements are just so much more fleshed out, and I love a creepy woods.

I wasn’t too fond of the narrator either, but I also didn’t hate her. Mouse’s attempted southern jokes came off as sly classiest comments and that irked me. They did disappear in the later half, but there were enough comments early on for her to leave a bad impression.Â
I would rate lower, but I really did enjoy it a lot up until the end.Â
