The Author has an occasional fascination with horror stories. Some years are worse than others.

[And that's a slightly pained smile, because last year was NOT one of the better ones.] I just missed the year before that myself, but I'd heard it wasn't as bad ... as much as hauntings and childhood fears made real are bad enough.

[Nevermind that, in most respects, between temperament and abilities, Saguru's one of the more harmless people in the Manor.]
