From a review at Amazon.com
of All Hallows’ Eve, by Charles Williams:“How many other books do you know in which one of the two main
characters is dead, in which the dead and living can communicate almost
as easily as we do every day, in which magic is serious and scary?
Mainstream books, that is, not Goosebumps, with an introduction by T.S.
Eliot, with the whole thing to be understood as at least feasible if
not truth. This is unusual. And yet, and yet, the whole thing works.”
