A good spooky time

this book is so horny and also gothic i think i love it

This is very well-written (which I expected given Lowell's "real life" pedigree) and so far quite suspenseful but there's a curious lack of time/era in this novel. I keep having to remind myself that it's set in the Victorian period as so much of it seems like a Regency romance. Why is the heroine playing a harpsichord? Why does the fashion often seem more early 19th century than Victorian? It's confusing.
