I did not expect to like this book as much as I did because I'm not keen on ghosts stories but I was pleasantly surprised. 

This book follows a group of friends who go to this ghost house in the middle of nowhere to do as people in ghost stories do. But as the tension grows between these friends the house takes notice and decides to give them exactly what they want.

The characters themselves were not likeable at all. They weren't meant to be and it made the tension between the friends that much more believable which I enjoyed. I did feel also that even though they weren't likeable Khaw has a way of writing them that does make you want to root for them. 

I love that the book was rich in history and culture. While I didn't understand basically any of it, I do now have stuff to look up when I eventually reread it. 

Also shoutout to Lin he gave the best lines, love that guy.

My biggest issue is that I felt the ending seemed rushed. I understand why it ended that way and also it is a short story but I kind of expected more to happen.

Overall I would recommend and I would 100% reread.
