I liked the way that the author did not try to explain everything, instead leaving things inexplicable and creepy. For example, who created the house? What was the significance of the eyes of the statues?

I thought the choice of what to reveal and what to leave to the reader's imagination gave the story a very Lovecraftian feel.
