Favourite winter stories from Fireside Al
Alan Maitland
Begins with a ghost story from Stephen Leacock. Arriving at Buggan Grange the narrator is met by Butler Horrod and presented with a dinner of meat pie, goose, a cheese, and a flagon of tart cider. Is he being fattened up for the kill. Lighting by candle and smoky fireplace.
Tale # 2 is equally spooky, Dicken’s style, dated.
A Metis family burns to death and young girl freezes.
Tobermory the talking cat socks it to the PTA, so to speak.
The collection is more ghost stories and death by misadventure than feel good around the fireplace. Al was in a fey mood when he generated this collection.
