3 1/2* rounded up, despite my snark it got more lively near the end, and I like to encourage newer authors to try different things

also was this actually marketed as a gothic? I feel part of my earlier disappointment was that it wasn't measuring up as a gothic read but was it actually sold as one?

screwed and tattoo'd h and her family of mice servants are starting to bore me - and what's with Hal? depression? insanity? I've read it twice and still can't figure it out

falling kinda flat now - gothic atmosphere has dissipated rapidly, servants too nice and accepting (where's Mrs Danvers when you need her?), mysterious disappeared H has reappeared too soon and is scarcely mysterious since we're privy to his every burbling thought, story badly needs a villain on-page
