A talkative ghost pops up in a movie theater once in a while.
(from 20th Century Ghosts)
Downside: The prose is really wordy and inelegant. The characters are paper thin. The plot is really just an idea. The extended italicized passages are difficult to read and unnecessarily annoying, seeing as how highlight+opt+i would have fixed it.
Upside: The idea is a memorable one. The pace is quick. There are some satisfying surprises and neat images. The ending is beautiful and meaningless.
OK, I’ll keep swinging away at this anthology. I had heard good things about Joe Hill, and I’m not quite on board, but with this one he’s earned further investigation.
