"Death and Taxes" by H. A. Hartzell is a fun fantasy story from the early 1960s that mixes money problems with silly supernatural happenings; it’s all about a historic lighthouse about to be torn down and the funny effect it has on everyone, living or dead, especially one ghost sailor. An artist named Jerry Masterson, who can't pay his taxes, meets the ghost of Captain Wully MacGreggor. To escape being homeless after the lighthouse is destroyed, Wully accidentally helps Jerry become famous because his paintings become special; along with his ghostly adventures with Wully and a love interest, Heather Higgins, Jerry figures out the importance of creativity, history, and the amusing chaos that happens when ghosts and humans mix leading to a story that highlights the strange link between death and money worries with a mix of humor, romance, and the unreal.
