"The house, so quiet, with its curtains drawn, was like a dress lined with lead. Everything was heavy, even the air, and a musty scent lingered along the hallways. It felt almost as if it were a temple, a church, where one must speak in low voices and genuflect, and she supposed the servants had acclimatized to this environment and therefore tiptoed along the staircase, unwilling nuns who had made vows of silence."

”Noemí was struck with the desire to lean forward and kiss him, a feeling like wishing to light a match, a burning, bright, and eager feeling. Yet she hesitated. It was easy to kiss someone when it didn't matter; it was more difficult when it might be meaningful.” I like how the possible romance in this story fights to emerge from the constant tense horror.

"'But the fact is everything they touch rots.'
Rots. The words sounded so ugly, it seemed to stick to the tongue, it made Noemí want to bite her nails even though she'd never done such a thing."
The damp, growing creepiness of the story is getting under my skin in the same way!

This book has already presented a very creepy letter, a scary house with strict rules, and a growing sense of dread! I don't read a lot of horror, so I'm nervous but excited!
