Wow! You did it again. I like the nods to the original, Ioreth, Gandalf's staff, the creepy altar. It ends on a note of melancholy creepiness. Thanks so much for this. It's a great present and a great addition to your oeuvre.

I hope you had a good Halloween.

I'm so glad you liked it. Staying close to the source took the story in some very bleak and cynical directions.

I had a great day -- overcast and windblown from the tag ends of the hurricane. I hope yours was a great birthday!

I love it! You really have a knack for the classics. :-)

I had a really nice day. I got to see kids in their costumes and watch monster movies all evening. The perfect Halloween.
