Tends to get overshadowed, including by me, by the weighty silhouette of the LGC Ghost Stories. It’s probably unfair as this is superb, it’s just next to those basically everything pales in comparison. Everything is so sotto voce in this that a genuine conversation with full sentences almost seem brash. The final scare is chilling in the same way the previous conversations are non-linguistic. It’s really good.
I will refute the claim that this is James’ “darkest” story however.
