The whole dilapidated mansion with closed off rooms and some hot-headed musicians going through emotional trauma. This book had the creepy, Southern Gothic vibe down pat, and I was pretty skeeved out while reading this book in the dark. Santino Hassell is really good at creating atmosphere. In fact, the more you get to know the characters, the more depressed you get. It is like one bad, terrible thing happening after another to these characters. If I could describe Stygian in a couple of words it would be "intense" and "angsty". This was my second book by Santino Hassell, and though I gave both books 3-ish stars, which for me is a good rating, I'm just not sure if he is the author for me. It isn’t until Kennedy forces the Caroway’s secrets into the light that Jeremy realizes belonging sometimes comes with a price. Kennedy suspects there’s something off about the creepy mansion and its mysterious owners, but Jeremy thinks he's finally found somewhere he fits. ![]() ![]() Tempers flare, sexual tension boils over into frustration, and Jeremy turns away from the band to find a friend in his eerily beautiful landlord Hunter Caroway. They had planned to spend six weeks focusing on new music but things go awry as soon as they arrive at the long-deserted Caroway mansion. ![]() Still, hoping to get close to Kennedy, the band's enigmatic guitarist, he follows Stygian to northern Louisiana for a summer retreat.

Most people just see him as the skinny emo kid who wears eyeliner and plays drums. Jeremy has been isolated and adrift since the death of his brother.
