An interesting, atmospheric ghost story for Christmas. This one is short and feels like it could’ve used more build up and/or back story to the creepy goings on. 

On the plus side the way the story takes place in essentially just one night does make it feel more meditative than your traditional haunted manor story. I didn’t totally get what the protagonist was going through in reflecting on the connections of childhood left behind to death in the future, but I felt like Bowen was trying to do something cool and meaningful there.
