This is one of my favourite books, hands down. It’s a short read, only 200 pages, and tells the tale of heartbreak, tragedy, and a haunting. I haven’t seen the movie (starring Daniel Radcliff) that was based off of this book, but I daresay this is better. It is honestly horrifying to imagine what is happening. It is grounded, and the writing is absoloutly beautiful. If you’re going to read this book for one reason alone, it’s for the writing. The descriptions of the settings are beautiful, the story isn’t overly complicated, and the word choices are deliberate.

Just go read this. It is worth the time.
