Such a creepy tale, and the fact that nine years passes before the next story really shows the generational changes in the guests. The ending is intriguing, and really leads me to hope that there will be a follow-on story.

An enjoyable, if forgettable wee read from David Mitchell. Good to see he wasn't a one-hit wonder; not so good to see, he only seems good at writing about people in England.
