It's hard to convey the eeriness of Ellicott City as it was before the encroachments of the horrible incessant overdevelopment of central Maryland in recent years. Suffice it to say, there's nothing in a story like this that feels entirely implausible to anyone who remembers the place as it was. Sometimes I tell myself it all had to do with some low-level electromagnetism emanating from all the granite of the forest hills and ridges around it. But that's the petty rationalist in me. Really, it was all those ghosts...
Your ghost story is ingenious. You don't tip your pitches, so I can never guess what's coming next. I hope Angelico Press doesn't keep us waiting much longer for more stories.

Very enjoyable (good and creepy)! Thank you!
I had no idea about the tradition of ghost stories at Christmas. Glad to be introduced to it. I enjoyed this a great deal.
