A Campfire Ghost Story, of Sorts (1949) Charnel Bells

- 科幻小說
Recorded in April of 1949, Van Guarrault of Studio Black Catacomb here gives us a fascinating glimpse into the unspoken traumas of his generation's soldiers. Though famously tight-lipped on the subject of mental and psychological hardship, the WWII generation's storytellers occasionally set aside the covenant of silence to whisper an artifact such as this story into existence. A look into service records for the time and location show that all the names in the story are fictionalized, but are a mix of recombinants and phonically similar names of actual servicemen with whom Guarrault served. And, hauntingly, a record for a Pvt. Ivan R. Lewis of Guarrault's unit is filed as missing in action. Still.
