A review by horrorhussy
Gothic by Philip Fracassi
3.0
A Horror Book of Old
Gothic feels like an old school atmospheric horror, one you found in your parents library and read far to young.
A beloved horror trope, of possessed items raging war on an unsuspecting family, made up of characters you can’t really bring yourself to like.
I did love the feel of building dread that Fracassi creates, I do think it would be a bigger hit for me if it was a touch shorter, closer the the 300 mark. It did feel like a bit of a slog to make it through to the payoff.
The pay off is worth it.
I can see the audience that will love this book, it does feel like a book people will love and hold as a favourite, recommend and share.
I’ve just always been a Jason girl and this is firmly in the Rose Red camp
