This was my last read for May and it did not disappoint!

Everybody who knows me and my book tastes, know that I love my gothic reads. I love the distress, the despair, the setting, etc. I've been putting off PotO for so long and I regret it cause I absolutely loved it. I read this in one sitting and couldn't put it down.

Erik is a madman but I love him.

This is going at the top of my fave classic gothic novels.
