The isolation of the characters and unsettling supernatural events, combined with enchanting local lore, make this an excellent purchase for any library.

Though abrupt transitions to a different point of view and time period detract from the flow of the story, this will appeal to devotees of the macabre and gothic set in the Victorian period, especially those who enjoy Charles Palliser's Rustication and David Morrell's Murder as a Fine Art.
