A Place for Vanishing by Ann Fraistat
4.0

Read if you enjoy:
Supernatural Horror, Lite
Haunted Houses
Fantasy
Family Drama/Dynamics
(Great) Mental Health Representation

For at least 3/4 of this book, I wasnt sure where it was heading i.e. what was real... but I was enjoying the ride. The imagery was fantastic. A great partnership between horror and whimsy. Each chapter was laced with an eerie undertone. The inner conflicts, mental health issues and family dynamics were well represented.
Nearly 5 stars for me, but the ending finished up a little too quickly, skipping right over some obivous "but how are you going to explain THAT?" moments.

Thanks to NetGalley and Random House for the eARC!
