Oh well, soon be 2021 and December again! I've enjoyed some short soroies by John Lutz recently and I'll have to keep an eye out for that Nameless short story as well.

I like Bill's smooth, upbeat style. Believable characters, and a good storyteller. Were this anthology available as an ebook I would download it in a flash!

I am glad to hear that the first foot tradition is like I imagined it and I am sorry to hear that you had to do all that scrubbing.

Just to make sure that we would have good luck over the next year. He had the easy job, as a girl I spent the last day of the year scrubbing the house from top to bottom to make it ready for the New Year!Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138715309807238198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-76252474394801779442020-12-09T12:22:26.749-08:002020-12-09T12:22:26.749-08:00I like being able to dip in and out of short story...I like being able to dip in and out of short story collections like that, Tracy. And it sounds like that's a good group of stories. As far as I'm concerned, Pronzini does some great stuff, so I'd want to check the collection out just on that score.Margot Kinberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08599589137890528065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-60045021463842292002020-12-09T09:50:10.637-08:002020-12-09T09:50:10.637-08:00Patti, I have one book of Christmas ghost stories ...Patti, I have one book of Christmas ghost stories that Glen gave me, and several other collections of Christmas stories, plus The Big Book of Christmas Mysteries edited by Penzler, of which I have read about a fifth of the stories.
