Dark, unique, haunting, and beautiful. I enjoyed that it's different from other stories I've ever read. It sets on two planes of existence (realm of the living and the realm of the dead), and it has that enchanting dreamlike quality to it but in a gothic element.
Warning: there is one nude illustration towards the end of the book so it might not be suitable for minors.
