Sivre Sen is a spiritual medium who's lost her faith. Though it's been years since the epidemic that swept the mainland and changed her life, she has yet to find the answers--or closure--that she's looking for. When she's summoned to conduct the funeral rites for a reclusive scholar, the unusual circumstances give her hope that maybe, finally, she'll find the answers she needs.Far from the mainland, on a small island in the middle of a lake, stands Lacrimore, centuries old and wreathed in grim legends. But something much darker than legends thrives within its walls, waiting to lay claim to the house's inhabitants. As Sivre rediscovers her place in the world, she'll need all of her newfound strength to dig her fingers into the monstrous foundation of Lacrimore and expose the secrets it is built upon.

I used this for a reading challenge (gothic fantasy), and while I'm not a fan of this genre, I'm glad I read it.
I really like the prose. It's sometimes poetic in its retrospectiveness.
I like that we have a scholar, a doctor and a medium stuck in the same old creepy mansion because it sets an interesting foundation for the question: What happens when the spirit leaves the body?
I got really invested in it!
But then halfway the creepy horror elements really kicked in and, sadly, my investment dwindled. It's not you, it's me. Not my genre...
But if it's your genre, this 184 pages creepy and at times really gorgeous prose might be for you.
