Retired artist, old school BSI. I prefer dead authors: Somerset Maugham, Hemingway, Conan Doyle, Ray Bradbury, Thomas Wolfe, T.S. Eliot …. but my reading lamp is dimming.
I see your point. It fell short.

I really liked this movie and I can live with the ending although it could've been better written. The only disappointment I experienced was its Box Office. Also I long felt that particular isolated adventure in Dracula was worth concentrating on.

I've been a fan ever since visiting the Dickens House on Doughty Street in London. I've read GExpectations, Oliver Twist, Bleak House, & Peter Ackroyd's Dickens bio.

You've got a magnificent "artist's eye." I spent my first 12 yrs in NE Ohio along Lake Erie; after that, in the mountains of western PA; and now in SC PA. I've walked & driven, through lonely winter landscapes like that. Next week I play Santa at our local Christmas Chorus/Tree Lighting program.

I enjoy reading these local posts about Cleveland, even though I haven't been a Ohio resident for almost 60 years. It makes me miss being a part of such an active, friendly, and engaged community!

Of course one can always read Dickens for pleasure, as some of us have done on occasion. He beats many contemporaries, for my money, but I’m a curmudgeon!

This is an ideal terror tale. For more, see The Gothic Tales of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
