Memoir of a Ghost by Susan Balée

Here is a link to a short story, Memoir of a Ghost, by Susan Balée, in Wild River Review. I read the story last night and enjoyed it a lot, so let me encourage you to visit the link and read the story, too. It is a haunting piece of short crime fiction, set in a newsroom -- or is it?

It still would not (probably) make Richard and Judy but it would definitely reach the parts that a £45 academic book will not reach. And if Macmillan won't do it, with my publisher's hat on, I will." Five people agree with her, in the comments to the blog post. The next day, Monday, Richard Charkin, CEO of Macmillan, responded:...
