I am a great lover of spooky and horror short stories, having read all of Stephen King's shorts as well as a number of other authors. I read this story today, just a few days before Halloween while it was pretty dark and dismal outside, raining, and while I was alone in the house. This was the perfect setting for this story, as it allowed me to immerse myself in the tale and really appreciate the spooky undertones. This is not a scary story but it is a supernatural tale with a romantic twist. I loved the main character in the story - his accent in particular made it easy to conjure up an image and idea of what he is like. I also liked the subtlety of the supernatural goings on, just enough to give you a little chill rather than being over the top. All in all, a great read for a rainy, dark October evening!
