This book was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a spooky Halloween-y read for October (but I'm a big baby when it comes to scary things), so this book was perfect for me!

I was so intrigued by the writing in this. Unbelievably it manages to create a tone that is all at once spooky, eerie, silly, playful, and haunting. What a unique tone! The entire time I kept wondering "did anything in this book actually happen? It did! But... am I sure?" I was kept on my toes wondering what was real and what was perhaps paranormal.

I wouldn't say that the twists and turns were terribly twist-y and turn-y, but I don't think this book was meant to give you whiplash. I think this book is more meant to make you wonder. To surprise you with mildly haunting subtlety. A story of how we create our own spooky legends, especially the best ones with outstanding imagery like a burned and boarded house overgrown with vines. Absolutely stunning.
