 This is overall a solid horror novel! The pacing is steady with an incline to the climax of the story! The elements are genuinely creepy that linger with you are it paints disturbing imagery of each terrifying scene. It feels so much like a classic Victorian gothic horror (probably because it is a reimagining of “The House of Usher”) while also bringing in gender diverse representation. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend it to other horror lovers, especially if you like works of Edgar Allan Poe and other gothic horror stories!
