The Haunted Boardinghouse

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.

Here's something on "The Haunted Boardinghouse," which I had intended to
post earlier but never got around to.  In your excellent post on the
similarities between THB and LITTLE, BIG, there was one you missed,
iirc.  The protagonist of THB is named Enan Bradford.  Smoky Barnable's
real first name, with which he signs his letter to Santa, is Evan
("Letters to Santa, II, 4, p. 166 of the Bantam trade paperback). So the
protagonists are Evan Barnable and Enan Bradford.
