Yay, Rebecca. I love me some gothicness.

I first encountered this book when my mom took out the audiobook of it when I was probably nine or ten years old. That made a huge impression - my first real encounter with the Gothic! I was so fascinated by that sense of foreboding hanging over it that I made my mom get the actual book from the library.
