Story Notes and Observations
"The Light Herders" / Kelof Katcheves
- It is stated that the Light Herders "numbered only about eighty or ninety when they came to America from Greece around 1917". Their beliefs were outlined in a book called The Songs of Interior Man, written by their leader Kelof Katcheves.
- Rituals used by the Light Herders were also known to a "primitive African tribe called the Gy Chulthu". Katcheves is suggested to have travelled to Zaire where he made contact with "the small but dangerous Gy Chulthu forest tribe", and adapted some of their rituals for use with the Light Herders. The tribe is also referenced in a later story, "house".
The Worrells and Brian Roth
- In August of 1991, the police visit the home of Daniel and Mary Worrell, who were reported missing by their college at George Mason University. At the home, police discover a note written by Brian Roth, Daniel Worrell's stepson, which reads "I have killed him because my mother deserves to live more than he does. I am very sorry." Police later discover Roth hiding in an equipment shed at the East Potomac Golf Course.
