You wouldn’t want to live there but might be fun to visit: pleasantly thrilling rather than threateningly haunted.
One last thing before you go: I share highlights from this blog in my quarterly author newsletter, The Storypunk Report, as well as news of what I’m writing and reading, and other goodies.
