Sorry I didn't read this before Halloween, but close enough. It was creepy and perfect for this darkening season.

Too bad. I was looking forward to the adventures of Gary and the Ghoul. Thought I saw a franchise on the horizon. Oh well. Good job! Keep up the good work!

Who says there can’t be a franchise?

The " Monster's Club " movie had a vignette where a character befriended a young woman in a village of ghouls. He discovered what she is / was but helps her escape anyway. It DID NOT END WELL for either character.

Imagine an episode of the late 60s - early 70s " Love, American Style " with GHOULS & that would be this same vignette.

I heard thunder, the howling of a Wolf, & an old - fashioned pipe organ. SHIVERS.

Stephen, AKA Sir Stephen of King, would approve. Or in the words of another pop cultural treasure : " IT'S PEOPLE ! ". Been YEARS since I last viewed Soylent Green.

I remember this one. The second time around wasn't any less creepy!

A perfectly appropriate and creepy read for the night.

More than anything, I appreciate your range. You can spin quite a few stories and with so many voices.
