Find the full review on my blog: https://www.goodreads.com/author_blog..."As in the reconfigured fairy tales of W.B.Yeats, and as in most of my favorite ghostly tales, everyone in this story tells a story (one character even declares--as though stealing the breath from MY mouth--'Don't you think we've gotten awful complacent in our society about story?'). The emotional landscape is wild and weird and full of shadows, even though the characters themselves are all somewhat detached either by grief...
Interesting, but not particularly enjoyable. I pretty much despised the narrator by the end, so I do not wish him well at all. I'm not sure whether it's better if the end is a hallucination or if (view spoiler)[the ghost only came back to kill him in revenge (hide spoiler)]. I don't like the idea that he got what he wanted, so I think I prefer hallucination.
An interesting novelette, with a many layered story. Haunting, and a little bit distressing, especially at the end.
This story is like an onion. It keeps unfolding into new and evolving story lines.
