and I thank those readers who have stuck with this tale (and there are one or two, if my reader stats are to be trusted). Hopefully I wrapped it up sorta kinda OK, but if I didn't, then hey - it's my story, so I did what I wanted!
I have grown quite fond of my leading ladies, but am not so sure about my narrator. I think he may not be reliable, and showed an inclination to steal women I have known over time, and turned them into actors in this tale that they were not in real life. Or were, as the case may be...
Anyhow, there it is. Done.
I read this as my Halloween ghost story this year, and enjoyed it greatly. A twisted tale that took that took the long way around to get where it was going, but the wait was worth it.
I got here eventually, skipping sex for narrative over many chapters (usually a sign I enjoy the story). Maybe I missed something, but I think I understood the tale, and the details not explained, not necessarily, not easily possible.
oh god, oh god, oh god. . . . . . yeeeeessssssssssss!!!!!!!!!! There aren't the words. Shades of Poe, Anais Nin and even Dylan Thomas alliteration. Heady stuff indeed. You, sir, are an exceedingly talented weaver of words. Ta muchly for gracing us with your art.
