I feel kind of bad for Crimson Peak, for one, it was marketed completely wrong. Universal marketed it as though it was a horror movie, when it couldn't really be farther from it. The inspiration for it was Rebecca and the Mysteries of Udolpho, it was a gothic romance. I liked Tom Hiddleston and Mia Wasikowska in it, but Jessica Chastain... I have nothing nice to say about her performance.

The twist was.... creepy. I can't help but wonder what the film would have been like if Benedict Cumberbatch hadn't dropped out.

Timeless read.

I love this book. It is not my usual genre and it languished on a shelf for a while, until I ran out of other reading material.

Since then, I have read it several times - something I rarely do - as I love the gothic feel and timelessness of the tale.

The characters are well imagined, and whether you like or dislike them, it's because they feel real.

This is a curl up with a mug and an open fire kind of book, perfect for cold dreary evenings.
