| 520 | _a"Death and Taxes" by H. A. Hartzell is a light-hearted fantasy novel written in the early 1960s. The book explores themes of financial struggles against a backdrop of whimsical supernatural elements, centering on the impending demolition of a historic lighthouse and the humorous ramifications it has on both the living and the dead, particularly focusing on a ghostly sailor. The story revolves around Jerry Masterson, an artist facing financial difficulties due to unpaid taxes, who unexpectedly encounters the ghost of Captain Wully MacGreggor. As Wully seeks to avoid homelessness after the lighthouse's destruction, he inadvertently influences Jerry’s artistic endeavors, leading to unexpected success when Jerry’s paintings start being recognized for their unique charm. Alongside his supernatural adventures with Wully and a captivating love interest, Heather Higgins, Jerry learns about creativity, the value of history, and the amusing chaos that ensues when spirits mingle with the everyday lives of mortals. Ultimately, the novel combines humor, romance, and the fantastical in a narrative that underscores the often absurd relationship between death and financial worries.
