Yah for a ghoul story. The world is simple lacking in these. I think the zombies have taken their place. Poor ghouls. What’s a ghoul to do?

I love the movie Ninth Gate. I wish the book had been all I wanted it to be. Oh well. Someday, I’ll write my own.

Almost perfect read. Still hearing Johnny read the story would have been a dark dream come true.

This was fucking great. I wish there was a novel, no a series to explore!

FEED the pod Steak, thick and rare with a rich red wine.

I love hard-boiled detective noir stories, and I love it when genres are thrown into a blender on the frappe setting. I would have loved to know a little more about the book collecting business and the book in question, but it was, overall, an extremely satisfying story with a nice take on ghouls.</p> This story was a treat!

Mur’s voice will certianly be missed here but I am excited about the possibilties of what new works we may get from her as she takes on a more reasonable workload. Go get ‘em Mur!

i really liked this story. it’s exciting when you click what’s going on. i don’t think the book needs to be described any more than it already is: the listener will start pouring all these ideas into what it might be, which is, sometimes, much more effective than the writer explaining it to the T.

And the best line? “I’m no a goon. I’m a book collector.”

So long Mur and good luck in your other endeavors.
