“He made me see what Life is, and what Death signifies, and why Love is stronger than both.”

A wonderful ghost story!
It was fun and a really great time! I can't stop talking about his writing because it's truely wonderful.

sometimes I forget Oscar Wilde was British white man but he makes sure I do not forget it for long, truly representing the white gays

Delightful beginning, a funny story that turned into something else in the end.

I'm starting to see that Oscar Wilde has a flair for the dramatic, and I am absolutely here for it.
This was a really short, but entertaining read. I love how light and funny the tone of it was, and how things escalated a little without being too serious.
