Probably many of us are puzzled concerning the identity of the tithe/teind in The Scottish Prisoner. Is it Tobias Quinn or Jamie? In my two previous posts, I discussed the notion that the faeries do sacrifice one of their own to hell. Furthermore, I brought up the conception that time travelers are seen as faeries […]

Lord John Series: The Bog Man as a Time Traveler-Part Two
In my last post, I speculated about the mysterious bog man in The Scottish Prisoner is a time traveler. Here is the link. The Bog Man as a Time Traveler.

Snakes seem to be everywhere in “Lord John and the Plague of Zombies.” In this post, I will try to interpret what snakes represent. Of course, I have not read yet any of the books that the author used as a source to write the novella, even though I acquired one of them, The Serpent […]

While I was away, I was able to finish reading A Trail of Fire. This post will be mainly about a detail revealed in “Lord John and the Plague of Zombies,” the confirmation that Geillis had syphilis.
