Met ever, and to shameful silence brought,
Yet gives not o'er, though desperate of success.”

One need not be a chamber to be haunted,
One need not be a house;
The brain has corridors surpassing
Material place.
Far safer, of a midnight meeting
External ghost,
Than an interior confronting
That whiter host.
Far safer through an Abbey gallop,
The stones achase,
Than, moonless, one's own self encounter
In lonesome place.
Ourself, behind ourself concealed,
Should startle most;
Assassin, hid in our apartment,
Be horror's least.
The prudent carries a revolver,
He bolts the door,
O'erlooking a superior spectre
More near.

"There have been stories of haunted houses basically as long as there have been houses. Tales of abandoned places where spooks and goblins take up residence go back as far at least as the Biblical Book of Isaiah, where the prophet foretells that the ruin of Israel's enemies will become a home for creatures such as satyrs, donkey-centaurs, child-eating birdwomen, and ostriches. Legends from the Middle East to the British Isles relate places haunted by djinns and ghouls and faeries and so on.
But the classic haunted house is, of course, the one with a ghost in it."

This issue has a very... worrying ending, which somehow even lampoons the concept of trigger warnings themselves.

Sep. 26th, 2021 12:28 amshakaloolooOnly recently realised that I didn't finish posting the latter half of the first volume of the 'Big Girls' series from Image, written and illustrated by Jason Howard. Excuses, excuses, but when lockdown hit at the end of last year I didn't get to my friendly local comic shop, ended up getting the TPB before the individual issues...
