I wish I had read this gem during Halloween. The combination of humor with the spooky atmosphere was perfect! Underwood is such a fantastic storyteller. Stories just don’t get any more pleasurable than this. I felt like I had just gone treat-or-treating, and was back home with my giant pile of candies, munching my favorites--Hershey Kisses, PayDays, Raisinets, and Peanut M&Ms--while watching the Fat Albert Halloween special on TV.
But, instead of a sugar high, this wonderful story left me with a warm glow reminiscent of that nostalgic time when ghost stories were all about spooky fun.
A very nice interlude between THE VELVET SEA and THE TENDER SHORE, the first two books in the Matt Ransom series.
Awesome work, Mr. Underwood. Thanks! ( )
