PangoBooks readers highly praise this book for its classic Shirley Jackson style, characterized by a Gothic and surreal ambiance. Readers find the characters, particularly the unreliable narrator Merricat, both relatable and unsettling, adding a layer of whimsy and darkness to the story. The book's ambiguity and slow-burn narrative keep readers engaged and constantly questioning, though some might find it lacking in action. Overall, it's described as a mysterious, uncomfortable, and spine-tingling read, best enjoyed in cozy, atmospheric settings.
