This is a lovely interpretation of a classic Poe story, with definite Mexican Gothic vibes. I enjoyed the many different pronouns used, as well as having a nonbinary protagonist. While certain elements of the book can be a little icky, it doesn't go too far into body horror as to be unpalatable. I feel as though I would've enjoyed it more if I'd read the original story, but it does still have feet on its own. I'd recommend this novella to anyone wanting to dip their toes into gothic horror or who loves Edgar Allan Poe.
