This gothic novella

by Australian

author and artist

Kathleen Jennings

was darker

than I thought

it'd be,

which is

a good thing.

A building mystery

full of question marks

and foggy recollections,

it unravels

so masterfully

and is over too soon.

My first time reading

Jennings (big fan of her art)

and I was enchanted

and immersed throughout

this slim, magical tale.
