The dialogues are well-placed, charming, witty, and natural, and the intriguing atmosphere promises eerie excitement. The author has the skill to write and express in a very versatile and flowery way, and he has created a very interesting aura of mystery and suspense. Every line is well-crafted, intricate, even daedal. The language is fantastic, and one just cannot dispute its beauty. His words bring flair and imagination to the tale. The description was magniloquent and likeable, and he was able to capture the reader into the moment. Quite a stunner! Definitely one of the most legit Halloween thrillers I've read. It sticks true to the notion of Halloween thrills, and it does not disappoint in the least. Vivid and imaginative, a page-turning Victorian thriller.
