I don't have a problem with Tom Slemen's books - - they are interesting little tales if you like that kind of thing, and there is a market for them.

My teenage son is enthrawled by such fantastical tales and has bought most of the Slemen books.
There is no harm in story telling as long as you don't believe it as truth.
If you don't believe in such things, then of course it would be nonsense to you. Just I know more than one person, including members of my own family who claimed to have seen Ghosts. To them they obviously do exist. Because you say its not true does not make it any more gospel than Tom Slemen or Fortinian who claim otherwise. I just witness on this forum hostility towards a poster because they asked a question regarding a Time Travel story (far fetched admittedly) and being called mental or being Tom Slemen trolling.
