An intricate, lengthy ghost story, about a haunted girls school in 1902, and the group of modern actors who are filming a movie about the ghost story. Unfortunately, the crew are planning to make a haunting on-set, to build up the hype of the movie and add a second layer to the spookiness of the narrative. I loved both timelines, which were equally diverse with queer characters and intrigue. The writing was lush and relaxed, taking its time to build a realistic world on its way towards the ending. There's also some wonderful horrifying moments in there too - if you're wasp-phobic, this one might not be for you!
I listened to the audiobook, which was really nicely done - I especially enjoyed how truly modern the 2020 characters sounded compared to the historical storyline. It made the banter all the more fun too, as some of the intonations were perfectly timed! I listened on 1.75x speed.
