A NECESSARY END is a ghost story that centers on Booth's insane plot to kill President Lincoln. It is a 'dark' paranormal because a malevolent spirit haunts and torments Booth to assassinate the 'tyrant' as in Julius Caesar. But since I believe every situation, no matter how foreboding, allows for humor, I've added a few lighter scenes that offer the reader some much-needed relief. How can this insane plot of Booth's not leave itself wide open for humor? It was pure comic farce, how he recruited this motley band of adoring disciples and gave them each an assignment in his absurd conspiracy. They were the Five Stooges, or Six, if you include Booth. Don't worry, he gets what's coming to him in the end.
