You made me go get the Arthur Machen book as well, because I had never heard of it before and it's kind of awesome in the way that much horror from its time is.

And the name "Cotgrave". Grave of cots. The place where little baby cradles die. I thought you'd made it up, until I got "The White People".

And the effigies remind me of "The Seventh Bride".

And did I mention that I loved the book? Because I loved the book!
