Regarding the human bones, described in Damn! Meta-Novelty which I kept under my bed for weeks as an adolescent - I hadn’t in any way intended to romanticize those body parts, that wasn’t the point at all.

They were medieval paupers that was for sure, after this, they may just have equally belonged to either an ally of Hereward the Wake - or some monster of a Child Molester.

My mother eventually discovered those human bones, and while assuring her I respected these remains, I admitted I’d also been using the largest leg bone as housing to my monocular … though she nonetheless very sharply castigated me.
