This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Avoiding spoilers, I can confidently assert that the
Long Sun/Short Sun (which I consider a single novel),
has ghosts, vampires, AND werewolves\(skin-changers).
In fact, the name of the city of Viron is a subtle
reference to werewolves. There's even a creature from
the Black Lagoon and plenty of references to the golem
of Prague (which is a kind of Frankenstein's monster).

I can't think of an Invisible Man.
