4.5
A seemingly stereotypical haunted house story with a cast of common horror character tropes. There’s the medium, the skeptic guy, nerdy guy, etc. However this book holds tricks up it’s sleeve that, unexpectedly, separates it from other “ghost stories”. Great imagery, an exciting setting, fun works-building and story telling, really this book has all of the ingredients for a good horror story that’s hard to put down. Read it, and I promise you will be surprised. I’ve never felt so good after finishing a horror book.
