Rebecca

To say that this book is my favourite horror novel, would be an understatement.
I have always been very intimidated by classics, and this is the first classic I have ever read so naturally, I was hesitant. But then I read the first line and before I knew it, I was reading the last line. This classic literally left me breathless. The fact that I didn't know what I was getting myself into, just added on to it. I expected the horror to be supernatural, but it quickly became a thriller.
The foreshadowing, the descriptions, the inner monologue all was just so wonderful. This one paragraph where the author related this children's game, “The Old Witch” to explain her feelings and horror, left me in absolute awe. Maybe it was because I used to play that game a lot or maybe it was due to the brilliance of her mind to connect it with the book. The way the author wrote, left me with goosebumps. I did not want the novel to end. And now that it has ended, I don't know what to do with myself.
