Everyone who doubts Bax has to reckon with all the independent
corroborations in the story:
1) The second letter of Doris, particularly the postscript confirms: the
werewolf attack, the strange basement, the rapist dwarf, and locking up the
vampire. Not to mention the appearance of ghost Ted in the main body of the
letter.
2) The challenge note from George, confirming the existence of Faerie.
3) The letter from the psychic confirming and charging for the vampire
lock-up incident.
4) Evidence found by the Collator that Bax had an ancient samurai sword.
5) The fact that a ex-con swindler somehow obtained valuable real estate in
Medicine Man.

The more I hear that all of this was forged by Bax somehow, and he was the
Collator so he could change all the letters as much as he wished, the weaker
the case appears to me. There has to be a core of events that "actually
happened" that is confirmed by independent evidence.
