A little true crime research, a little creepy, and a healthy dose of weird. Dreamy and Dark.
The prose is lovely and haunting, giving a gothic feeling in the modern day. It was easy to lose track of when this story was supposed to take place—floating in and out of time with Cornelia— as our heroine seems to have a taste for older clothing to go along with her fascination with 123 Brightmore Lane, its infamous owner, and the people who lost their lives in the house—very willingly, if the stories are correct.

This was a fine short story that was well-written, dreamy, dark, and unique. It probably deserves 4 stars, but I found it a terribly sad read and got 3 stars of enjoyment out of it.
It's a chilling, ghostly tale that feels like it should be read in autumn twilight as the cold creeps in. There are dark desires here and allusions to past murder and possibly present thoughts of suicide. It's got a bit of Romeo/Juliet vibe of toxic longing, obsession, and dependency, except with a strange kind of polyamory.
Overall, it was a quick, interesting read, and I would check out the author's other works. But I would only recommend this to someone without triggers who enjoys an eerie, slightly erotic ghost story.

“Here, inside the house’s weathered corpse, Cornelia felt...safe.”
“In that moment, in a hot, hungry place inside her ribcage, all Cornelia wanted was to join them, too.”
Com certeza um dos contos mais românticos que li esse ano. Magen Cubed escreve tão bem que até me perturba, a cada palavra exalava sentimentalismo exarcebada que eu até queria ser a Cornelia. Primeiro livro da autora e eu já amei, pretendo ler os outros.

"Librarian moves into haunted serial killer house, falls in love with the ghosts and has a queer orgy with them while dreaming about death" is not a story I ever thought I'd get to read, but I'm so glad I did.
Very unusual, and equally good. I loved it. The writing is excellent, the story intriguing. Can't believe this is only 20 pages long and yet so impressive.

creepy and hot
I’m still not sure is this story is happy or sad or if Cornelia is crazy or haunted. But either way it was a creepy sexy little story. Super quick read. Happy Halloween.

The writing was amazing, this was the first piece of writing I read from Cubed and it will certainly not be the last. I've already recommended this short story to people. The writing was beautiful and dark and sensual. It doesn't live up to the praise that its given, it exceeds it.

Unsettling, not even that erotic. Unhappy.

A spooky erotic love story
A woman lives in a house full of ghosts, and they all fall in love. It's very sweet and sexy.
