Being an official dyed-in-the-woolen-undershorts old fart myself I really enjoyed this short little ghost story. This is the sort of a yarn that true literary geeks will definitely get a giggle out of.I won't lie to you, mind you. This isn't a GREAT literary epic. More along the lines of the kind of bathroom humor that you might find scrawled in a pub's innermost lavatory stall. At best, it is a short bit of entertainment, perfect for Kindle-reading on the bus downtown. It does not offer the sort of sonorous majesty of a true moosemeat, homebrewed beer and baked beans oompapa cheek-ripping fart - but rather the sweet and squeaky tunefulness of a carefully timed popcorn toot.I'd like to see the author do a little bit more with her "characters". The ghosts voices weren't quite on the mark all of the time - but I'd definitely love to see a novella with these old literary ghosts playing a somewhat larger role.yours in storytelling,Steve Vernon
