Have just now finished the incredibly long and arduous chapter 5. This chapter was a masterclass in tension, and the way it managed to weave the seemingly irrelevant tangent on echoes into the later parts of the chapter was crazy. Not a great book to read in the lead-up to bedtime.
Undecided whether I'm going to continue on to the next chapter or read the Whalestoe Letters when I next pick up the book.

Have now read the prologue and the first 4 chapters. The final few paragraphs of the prologue were genuinely spine-chilling. The way Danielewski utilises fonts and footnotes to simultaneously tell multiple interlinked stories is really impressive. Definitely a slow-burn sort of horror, but it's managed to freak me out at least a few times so far.
Very keen to continue reading
