Not really much anything...
Honestly, I feel bad saying this but I don't recommend this short story, there is no plot, no message, no character building or development.

Good story! I suppose it didn't NEED a more conclusive ending but I would have liked it. 3 1/2?

Another Tor.com short story.
I liked this one, it's an interesting take on ghost stories. Clearly the family is grieving, all in their own way. Ian as well is grieving, although like the father his grief expresses itself through anger and violence. The girls find a safe way to grieve because they can see their brother, and they band together against their parents first to help him and then just to survive his wrath.

Enjoyable to read while still dealing with loss social hierarchy of a family. The Ghost aspect is kind of hit and miss for me.
