That introduction absolutely had me fooled haha! I love it. 

I enjoyed this -- it's a classic, of course, so the writing style is very different from what I typically read because I read very few classics. So nothing about the writing was particularly incredible for me, personally. 

I also thought that the ending was pretty rushed and the lore and plot overall was a bit flimsy. 

However, the vaguely eerie gothic vibes are there, for sure!
