The best kind of ghost story has melancholy, doesn't it, because of the nature of ghosts always involves death. <br /><br />I like the Irish setting, and how the background - the troubles, the violence, weaves its way through their lives. A lovely short story. Thank you, Mel! I'm also going to be looking for The Butterfly Cabinet to buy, also :-)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-72846342342860612102012-03-14T15:48:45.742+08:002012-03-14T15:48:45.742+08:00Hi Mel u, an arresting and an immediate opening pa...Hi Mel u, an arresting and an immediate opening paragraph.
