Henry Darger
I was wandering around the Internet today when I happened to run into a familiar name: Henry Darger. I remembered reading about him in the Fortean Times a couple of years ago. I was very interested in him then, and now I have found new reasons to want to learn more about him. In particular I want to read his other book (the less famous one), Crazy House. His famous book has a very long title, but it’s the story of 7 children called the Vivian Girls. In Crazy House the Vivian Girls are forced to live in a haunted house and confront the demon there! Strangely, I don’t remember the Fortean Times mentioning that one. They were focused on his magnum opus. I’m also intrigued by a novel or story he wrote about a tornado named “Sweetie Pie.”
