Reactions and Reviews

I'm a casefile girl at heart, and this one by Ophelia is a crackerjack story. Resurgam features a trip back to Mulder's New England roots, a journey that may just end up killing Scully. In the mix is a cool ghost story and lots of adult, believable intereactions between our heros and the three-dimensional original characters. The writing itself is lovely; Ophelia has a way with gentle prose that is thoughtful and detailed without becoming overwhelming. The mystery involved is complex and the ultimate revelation is totally satisfying. This story is a treat not to be missed.

This is a terrific ghost story. It's set sometime after Scully's loss of Emily in Season 5 and she is still grieving the loss of her daughter and inability to have children. They investigate a murder of a family friend of Mulder's in his childhood home. There is a local story about a ghost who calls women who have lost their children or children who have lost their mothers. Guess who falls prey to the ghost(s)?
