closer to 3.5, or maybe even 4. I did like this, and I thought it did a truly admirable job of setting up The Most Hauntedest House and then having it live up to its reputation within the narrative. my primary problems were that his writing style just didn't work for me in terms of building atmosphere and tension and perhaps more importantly, the exploration of sexual horror themes were extremely flat and underdeveloped compared to other themes.

by far one of the creepiest horror novels I've read. incredibly enjoyable and well-crafted, the characters and plot both were so compelling. it would be difficult to describe in detail without spoilers but suffice to say it is an absolutely incredible Gothic horror
