This story is well-suited for such a presentation, since it deals with a supernatural book whose many pages are in no discernible order. And the story&#8217;s spare, haunting atmosphere comes through clearly, if not more strongly, when it is read in short, random fragments.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><!-- 2016-10-25 09:03.
