Sorcerer's House writeup done at last.

This was tough. Late Wolfe is way trickier than I would like him to be for my peace of mind. I suggest readers who want a head start on this and have not stayed up to date on my posts look up the Lamia of Corinth and Apollonius, as well as the Kikimora and the stories of Knecht Ruprecht and Zwarte Piet, though I include all the pertinent information eventually. The Lamia of Corinth has the ability to generate the illusion of a mansion and servants from nothing, is ambiguously gendered (like the figure on the golden coin from Corinth in the text), is identified by a terrible stench, and has terrible eyes which she can remove (see the eyes of Lupine and the vampire butler Nicholas and the stench which accompanies them.) In addition ... ... ... she drinks the blood of children. So does Nicholas the butler. Her illusions are never pierced in this text, because she strangles Ambrosius (as Goldwurm, of course!) and throws him in the river (In the historical biography, Apollonius pierces though her illusions by identifying here.) Guess what never appears in the text of the novel? You guessed it - the name Lamia. Why you do this to me, Gene?https://pastebin.com/B7yGz57Q _______________________________________________
