There's some body horror here but this is more sad fantasy than anything else. You'll see Miri grieving the whole time: grieving her wife who has not yet passed, grieving her mother and then grieving her wife again. I did enjoy the little intricacies of their relationship, as well as the way this was written.

It intrigues me how fascinaded M. R. James was with the idea of having spirits/ghosts stuck to objects. Most of the stories are what we now considered dark academia.
My favorite ones were:
1. "The Stalls of Barchester Cathedral" because I could really feel the despair.
2. "The Ash-Tree" because I'll always love a witch taking revenge.

What is the purpose of our life if not the one we assign to it?
The book was okay. Even though I get the circumstances of her upbringing, Hazel was still very annoying.
I did like that she ended up living for helself and for what she wanted.

It reads like a Mexican telenovela lol. I'm not surprised of how horrible religious people have been since forever. Even though, the author is aiming this towards the hipocrisy of the Catholic Church I'm going to include most - if not all churches on the sin of being hipocrites. I was not expecting the amount of sexual violence in a 1700s text but here you go. And yeah, the Monk was a total POS and I'm siding with the Devil here.

This was exquisite. The horror, the religious trauma, human beings inherent cruelty... An absolute gem!
BTW the confessional booth scene had me kicking my feet.
