Bob & Virgil go deep on Avram Davidson’s Eszterhazy tale: lurlies vs. Lorelei, undines and baptismal souls, why “Mud” matters, how Davidson blends courtly satire with folklore, and where Eszterhazy fits in the occult-detective lineage (think Hodgson/Machen—but funnier, kinder, and sneakier). We hit publication context (Fantastic, 1975), the expanded Eszterhazy collection, and the story’s quiet ecological thread (buckwheat, wudkey, and the costs of progress). Spoiler-light for newcomers, juicy for devotees.
