This was a quick read! Its a retelling of Poe‘s The Fall of The House of Usher. Its a really good retelling. I read the authors note and she said after reading Poe‘s version she was left with a lot of questions and wanted more details. So, she wrote her own version. Very much following the original with character names, etc. but also so much more!
Well that was mildly traumatizing. I like how I totally knew who the antagonist was by like chapter 2 but was actually coerced into believing I was wrong until the very end. What the actual hell.
Phantom by Susan Kay
This is one of my favorite Phantom of the Opera retellings.
