Into the Abyss Reviews ☆☆☆☆
"Reminds me so much of quaint and cozy British folk Horror ... like an early Twilight Zone episode featuring a town encased in a bubble, as if nothing from the outside world can touch it."
Anne G, BookSirens Reviews ☆☆☆☆
"A good gothic horror with a town full of people with well developed characters and a, thankfully, well edited story. The writing was very evocative and filled with descriptive scenes that were easy to envision. There's a strong history, filled with dark undertones that pull the plot along, and some unexpected twists along the way. I would definitely recommend this one for anyone who enjoys a good gothic horror story."
Aria H, NetGalley ☆☆☆☆
"I love dark reads and so I really enjoyed this richly gothic and atmospheric read. I couldn't put it down, I was completely gripped all the way through."
Anna Maria G, NetGalley ☆☆☆☆
"A gothic novel with elements of folk horror. I enjoyed it and appreciated the setting, the well developed world building, and the plot."
