Re: Crampton
I read the Durtro edition, and I am puzzled about something. Is the superstition about yellow houses (kooky magicians saying "I never want to live in a yellow house") something Ligotti invented for the story, or is it a pre-existing superstition?
personally, I am leaning towards Ligotti-invented. I did some googling and couldn't find anything ominous about yellow houses, and within the context of the story it suggests the Kooky Magicians are in league with Them, and the saying was a specific reference to the yellow house as a dumping ground for Their victims.
