White Is for Witching is one of those books that feels more like an experience than a straightforward story. It's eerie, unsettling, and often left me wondering what was real and what wasn't. If you're looking for a traditional haunted house novel, this isn't it—but if you enjoy atmospheric, gothic fiction that slowly gets under your skin, it's definitely worth the ride.
The writing is absolutely beautiful, though it took me a little while to settle into it. The story jumps between different perspectives, including the house itself, which made everything feel dreamlike and just a little off in the best way. Miranda is a fascinating character, and watching her struggle with her family's history, her illness, and the house's growing influence kept me turning the pages.
This isn't a fast-paced horror novel. It's much quieter, relying on creeping dread instead of jump scares, and there were moments where I had to stop and think about what I'd just read. While I occasionally wished the story was a bit more straightforward, the haunting atmosphere more than made up for it.
If you enjoy gothic fiction with unreliable narrators, haunted houses, and stories that leave plenty open to interpretation, White Is for Witching is one to add to your list. It's strange, haunting, and the kind of book that lingers long after you've finished the last page.
