This had some great spooky, gothic aesthetics. The narrative and characters are a bit basic, so it did teeter into being more style-over-substance. The ending also turned into a kind of deus ex machina, which I often find disappointing. I still found it entertaining, though. If you're looking for something gothic and eerie to read for the Halloween season, this would certainly be a decent pick!
