A fun story: creepy, unreliable narrator, uncertain characters. Merricat Blackwood narrates the story of her family in a small, gossipy town. There's lots of mental issues throughout: Merricat is ritualistic & perhaps OCD; Constance can't leave the gardens of the house. A fun read, with truly gothic tones. This has the makings of a good creepy Halloween movie. Listened to this again in July 2018: A really great story. It's gothic, intriguing, unreliable and I really enjoy the characters of Merricat, Constance and Uncle Julian. This story gets better upon retelling.
