This was a nice bit of environmental vengeance. I was unaware of the legend of Croatoan and I don’t know much about the Roanoke colony. Being in the UK, this had passed me by.
This didn’t stop me from having a grim satisfaction from this story though. There are no likable characters in this (well, possibly the spirit – he has a point) and you could see that things were going to go bad.
The build up was well done though. Things escalated well, with the main character gradually getting worse and worse. He was warned and had some opportunity to change, but did not heed that advise.
