Phantoms inscription to Gary Elswick

One Rainy Night by Richard Layom, p159 US PBK Edition
“He considered opening them and looking in. As he reached for a handle, however, he remembered a book he’d read a few years ago. Phantoms. The oven of an abandoned bakery had a severed head or two inside. So he stepped away from the ovens.”
Thanks to Joshua Miguel for the find.
