Man, I liked that at least 4.8 times better than your former Halloween-season magnum opus, The Black Coffin!
Didn't see this until now. I'll have to bookmark it and check it out in the next couple of days.
I have started reading and hope to finish it while I am on this course.
Okay, just finished reading it.
Very nice work.
