What's to discuss?, great story, in fact, one of the best ever.
Also, a great lesson, keep it vague, which is the hardest thing to do when you write.
The horror genre was badly harmed by people trying to be more specific-it began to become a joke.
Except for Anne Rice-damned if she can't get very specific, and still tell a great story.
(little known fact, she was christened Howard O'Brien, she started using the name Anne in High School-can you blame her?)
