Review: The Silent Companions

The Silent Companions The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell is a creepy, Gothic story.  Depending on what you believe in, it could be about a haunted house or haunted objects, or it could be about mental illness.  It is told through journal-style chapters written by women in different generations of a well-to-do family living in a certain country home.  Terrible things befall people in the house.  All of the tragedies really start happening after the family acquire a set of wooden cut-outs of everyday people.  You've probably seen those life-size cardboard cutouts of celebrities.  Maybe you even have one because you thought it would be fun.  You might think twice about that after reading this.
