Golem

Once again, the inimitable eldritcher pulls me up short and makes me breathe, "Oh!" with this dreamlike story that's densely textured and beautifully lyrical.

As with many of eldritcher's stories, this one packs a lot into a relatively short piece. The author juxtaposes starkness and voluptuousness into the tale, weaving mythology into it to create a fascinating character study. It's complex and dense with imagery and imagination.
