originally published The Tangled Muse, Centipede Press, 2011
Charlotte Hund lives in the city of Gershon, which may be in the Dreamlands, and where new friend Sebastian Melmoth (a psuedonym once used by Oscar Wilde) is about to take her on a trip.
Charlotte is apparently a ghoul, though she was raised as a human (albeit a deformed one) by a witch grandmother.
Sebastian takes her to a place where an underground tunnel reunites her with her ghoul-ish brethren.
Hard to know what to say about this story. It's well-written, if florid, evocative, dreamlike, amusing, and pretty slight. Plenty of atmosphere, though.
