“(Washington) Irving was only the first of the writers of the American ghostly tale to recognize that the supernatural, exactly because its epistemological status is so difficult to determine, challenged the writer to invent a commensurately sophisticated narrative technique.”
Howard Kerr, The Haunted dusk: American supernatural fiction, 1820-1920

Tim Gilmore
“Most human beings come into the world and leave it with nothing to show they ever lived.”
Tim Gilmore
