A View From Corona #17

So I was working in the bookstore yesterday, and a customer comes in to return a copy of a book he bought 3 days ago… the recently published Hippocampus Press collection, The House of Sounds and Others by M. P. Sheil. No big deal, the customer indicated that he already had most of these stories in the Sheil’s Arkham House collection, and that he wanted to exchange it. I assented to this request, and the customer began looking for a different book.
