This is a classic in the horror genre, but I found it to be more of a psychological puzzle than a spine-tingling ghost story. Nothing really terrifying happens, and at times, I struggled to discern what was real and what might have been the imaginations of the characters. In retrospect, maybe that was the point—was it truly a haunting? This ambiguity kept me guessing, though not always in a satisfying way.

On the downside, the narrative leans into the “crazy woman” trope, which feels a bit tired. It overshadowed some of the more intriguing elements of the plot for me. However, I did enjoy the characters, who brought a lot of personality to the story. There was some unexpected comic relief scattered throughout, which kept the atmosphere from becoming too heavy.

Overall, while it didn’t fully deliver the chills I was hoping for, it was an interesting exploration of the human mind and its vulnerabilities. A decent read if you're up for more psychological intrigue than traditional horror.
