“There was a feeling of emptiness in the wardrobe, but it wasn’t empty of feeling.”
― Dead Air: The Dead Series: Vol 2
― Dead Air: The Dead Series: Vol 2
“After breakfast the host takes the young man into a corner, and explains to him that what he saw was the ghost of a lady who had been murdered in that very bed, or who had murdered somebody else there - it does not really matter which: you can be a ghost by murdering somebody else or by being murdered yourself, whichever you prefer. The murdered ghost is, perhaps, the more popular; but, on the other hand, you can frighten people better if you are the murdered one, because then you can show your wounds and do groans.
