Read in Amphigorey Too, wanted to separately rate the story. Although, I also read this as a stand alone. It's one of my favorites of Gorey's.

I love the medium of the alphabet to carry the momentum of a short story. I thought it was clever and well done. I appreciated that it wasn't overdone, like it didn't get alliterative, etc.
