Highest: Know My Name by Chanel Miller (4.72)

Lowest: The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole (3.18)

  • The first "supernatural english novel'.

Lowest I've Read: The Haunting of Alma Fielding by Kate Summerscale (3.23)

  • One of my favorite books of the year. I think people were expecting a scary story when this is more of an examination of the effects of mental health in terms of supernatural activity. If you like Rebecca or The Haunting of Hill House I would recommend this!

Was Otrano really that bad? Isn't it considered to be a classic?

I have not read it yet. The person I got the recommendation from seemed to really enjoy it. (I think people tend to judge horror harshly for both books and movies.)
