<div><br></div><div><a href="http://ridethenightmare.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/30-days-of-halloween-day-15-stalking.html">Day 15: Stalking Hnakra (monsters in C. S. Lewis)</a> (It'd be fascinating to compare Lewis's treatment of monsters with Wolfe's)<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>Also the posts on <a href="http://ridethenightmare.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/30-days-of-halloween-day-17-seraphim.html">Seraphim</a> and <a href="http://ridethenightmare.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/30-days-of-halloween-day-18-cherubim.html">Cherubim</a> kind of relate to Wolfe's portrayal of the holy monstrous (and I can think of at least one short story where he references a Cherub rather explicitly - 'Slow Children at Play' in <i>Innocents Aboard</i>).</div>
