To Sleep with Evil
In her gothic horror novel To Sleep with Evil, Cardarelle creates a chilling atmosphere and delightfully understated dark and gruesome details. She doesn't over-explain or info-dump her setting (a common failing in gaming tie-in novels), and leaves you guessing about whether characters are undead, cursed, or wholly inhuman for much of the novel.
However, Cardelle is so true to gothic horror tone that her heroine, Marguerite, is as bland as an ingenue can be, perpetually naive and limp. The curiosity that sends her sneaking out of her locked room doesn't feel all that belieavble, because she doesn't do anything with new knowledge when she discovers it. This feels like a plot device to get her to overhear and see the actions of others. Basically, she's a typical horror movie trapped helpless female, and the question is whether you enjoy shaking the book asking "why are you being so stupid??" or if that makes you hurl the book away. I'm more of a hurler myself, but hey, I don't like mainstream horror movies, either. If you do, you'll probably enjoy To Sleep with Evil.
