Realtor Joan Freeboard – in an effort to dispel the mansion’s eerie reputation I would recommend it anyway, each reader will judge according to its criteria.
Since I didn’t keep that volume, I was happy when Cemetery Dance republished the novella on its own, so I could have a copy in my permanent collection.
