The End of the Sentence by Maria Dahvana Headley

3.0

Solid little horror story. I wish it had been longer, actually, as I found the protagonist's quick acceptance of the weirdness of his haunted house jarring. Was a little uncomfortable with the notes used for the main character's son,
Spoilerwho, while young, expresses a desire to be a princess, and dies (truly by accident) soon after. There is a beautiful and fitting redemptive note that makes use of his child's tiara.
Loved the elements of folklore, the shoe-ing of this monstrous being, the horse-woman, the wearing away of iron. Some really striking imagery in this small book.
