Reviews
Great story!

Madness is a slow process, so believably told that you could see yourself being the afflicted party. And the reader savored every bit of the process, all the way up to the surprise ending! I give it 5 stars for a very enjoyable hour and a half listen.
A fantastic listen for an average book

I feel the best way to read/listen to this is to go in blind, so I will just say that if you enjoy uncanny valley themes, gothic, cosmic horror and/or a splash of 18th century classism, this is the book for you.
