They even thought he was a monster, he was so decrepit and stooped over... he fit the lore of a Black Annis in a roleplay game the protagonist of the book played called Hobgoblin. Good stuff.

I loved this book too - it's quite hard to find now and my paperback is pretty battered. Brilliant story though.
