Status Updates From The Quiet Stillness of Empt...

I can feel the silence of the house from the descriptions in this book and it’s wildly uncomfortable and unsettling

I love spooky old women in derelict houses full of knowing and brutal wisdom.
I also love L.V Russell giving the big middle finger to the patriarchy

I'm loving the atmosphere, dread and the seemingly developing romance?

THE VIBES

This book is well-written and saturated with rich, moody atmosphere and menacing dread.

Enjoying the Gothic vibes. I'll curious about the mysterious person haunting the house.

I really don’t want this book to end. It’s giving everything I’ve been looking for since reading The Cruel Dark.

what’s in the attic? Is the wife being held up there and she’s not actually at the seaside??

Ok but why has nothing happened and I am entranced by this story!!!! L. V. Russel can write an amazing gothic story, such rich prose. Also when I say that absolutely NOTHING has happened between our FMC and MMC yet I’m kicking and feeling the tension every time they have ANY interaction!

very atmospheric

“What could you offer me except ruin”

“He was cobweb and sweetness”

“A part of me wants to see that wildness grow”

The eerie atmosphere is impeccable
