Y’know, I’d argue that in a way, this *is* a vampire story. “Paul Slater” is very much a vampire — the husband is a dead man, and this thing has replaced him. It hangs that way, at least as metaphor.

Believe it or not, I do think Jenny will land in Dallas. That’s worse for me — this idea that maybe, just maybe, this man has a terrible hold over her, and he may always.

Unless she does something about it.

I don’t think a sequel in Dallas is necessary. I don’t think Jenny will ever land in Dallas.

This, incidentally, is how one should do a vampire story. I don’t care if it is actually a vampire story (it can be read as one) but it is how one should write one. That is all. Good work, Chuck.

Thanks, peeps.

Evan, a sequel might be in order, but mostly I like that it hangs on this awful potential, that we don’t know what’s coming but we know it’s not good — she acquiesces, she’s a part of this now.

Criminally good. How about a sequel in Dallas?

Excellent suspense with just the right number of clues along the way to make you really curious.

Well, that completely threw me! What a great piece of writing.

Hey, that’s some good, spooky stuff. Lovin the details, the little pieces, the whole picture holding together.
