I may have entered this book with too high expectations. One of my favorite settings in horror is a haunted location, and Kiste certainly provides a fascinating twist on that popular narrative device. The tone was just a bit too melancholy for me, and I didn't connect with any of the characters. I'm really sad about this one!
