Ok full disclosure: I finally finished this tonight and I still preferred Hill House but that doesn't mean this is bad. I just thought Hill House brought together its composite elements a lot better/more neatly. I also liked the implied future consequences of Hill House a bit more.

That said, if you like something that pays proper homage to Gothic tradition with extremely slow burn elements, themes of loss and death, a creeping sense of dread or foreboding and the ghosts are kinda secondary (except for right at the end I suppose) then you'll be fine.

Bonus: if you are familiar with Henry James's work as this borrows from a couple of other things as well as The Turn of the Screw.

I didn't particularly care for how quickly everything was wrapped up but some of the performances are worth it. In particular the character of Hannah.
