The Ghost Extinguishers by Gelett Burgess

Got Ghosts? We are ready to believe you. Wulf Moon reads. Author Gelett Burgess (1866-1951) earned a degree from MIT then escaped west and became part of the San Francisco Bay Area literary renaissance of the 1890s as an artist, poet, author, and humorist.
