I enjoyed 'Panic' very much. Susan Sullivan and Lela Quick both won me over early on, performance and character, and there was clear chemistry with Mr Q Collins, Esq.
Spooky antique shops are always fun, and the flat-cap-wearing owner who sold the shop to Quentin seemed to me a nod towards Peter Cushing's flat-capped antique shop proprietor in the fantastic Amicus anthology 'From Beyond the Grave'. In that film, all the items on sale in Cushing's shop carry a curse or hidden surprise, so if he sold the shop itself I can only imagine at what the new owner might find inside. Maybe a forest?
Lovely support from all concerned. I did feel sorry for Holly, who was too adorable to be as annoying as her opening lines might have suggested. And the framing device of Quentin telling the tale to Tom carries forward that charming relationship from 'Bloodlust' very nicely.

You REALLY should try Roy's Parallel books (or audiobooks) then, Tracy. They play beautifully with that kind of thing. (And I do mean 'play' - it's all very playful... with dark undertones...) I actually bought the first one the other day. I haven't had the chance to read it yet though. The e-version is also pretty inexpensive on the Kindle. Did you ever get round to trying that, Tracy?

Ugh!! No I did not. I am so far behind in ALL my listening, reading, watching....I'm afraid I'll never catch up...and I'd like to do it before I'm in the rest home!

And the framing device of Quentin telling the tale to Tom carries forward that charming relationship from 'Bloodlust' very nicely. Just noticed this comment! I hesitate slightly to reply to this, as once a story is out there, it's pretty much up to readers/listeners to make up their own minds about connections and references. That's part of the pleasure, I know. For those interested though, the flat-cap-wearing owner was {Spoiler}meant simply to be another iteration of Pan (the clue is in the hat). So he sold Quentin the shop in the first place! As I recall, I did think about making that more explicit when Pan and Quentin and Lela had their big confrontation in the forest, but in the end that scene was more about Pan and Lela's backstory, and it seemed to be getting in the way.
I haven't seen that Amicus anthology, although it sounds a lot of fun!

Thank you for explaining that. I thought it had to be something like that, but I didn't want to be embellishing the story too much. I certainly though understand your idea on authorship once the story is over. I did study "The Death of the Author" back in undergrad.
