You know, when you read works of the weird and supernatural from this area, you feel you've been cursed - born into an era where the English language has been stripped of its poesy and colourful motion. Would you describe a man's expression as his "vizard" today? Or shorten "bewilderment" to "wilderment"? Where you and I eat food, one once consumed "viands"...
This antiquity of writing makes this ghoulish tale, a standard vampire story by any other definition, such a bedazzlement to read. How much more impacting it is to be "bedrowsed" as opposed to merely being tired? Dang, it makes me want to use these wonderful words in my own writing.
Jolly good show, Mr Smith.

If you're going to have any CAS book, it should probably be this one. The Averoigne stories are great fun.
