This review for Hate House nearly made me keel over!

I was gripping my pillow tight reading this one!

This modern gothic novel creates and sustains the ultimate creepy vibe throughout. The descriptions of Hate House had me alternating between yelling “ewww” to “what?!”

The first half remind me of Manderley—the portraits of cruel women watching and influencing both the protagonist as well as the house.

The second half started giving me Overlook Hotel vibes and I kept questioning what was real and what wasn’t.

I don’t want to say a thing about the ending other than I found it a satisfying ending as a reader, and will likely be rethinking the last pages for a while.

If you like: The Haunting of Hill House, The Elementals, The Fall of the House of Usher, Turn of the Screw, The Shining, Mexican Gothica—you will undoubtedly enjoy this read.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily
