    I hope you like it too.

  • I think it's a haunted house that does scary things to make it's occupants leave because it wants to be alone as it's an introvert. Let me know if I'm right after you read the book 🤣🤣🤣🤣

  • So will we get another haiku after you've read the book, Paul?

    Definitely give it a try... I absolutely LOVE this book. I spent a summer being devoured by that tome.

    It's a wild ride, many ways of reading it. Great haiku, I can feel the anticipation.

  • ✍️ Paul, I enjoyed your haiku and the reminder to include enigmatic books in reads. I will be away from Vocal on occasion, but I will remember the joy your writings bring. Thank you! ✍️💙
